“So through a world of piety I made my way to Sebastian.”
― Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

“That day was the beginning of my friendship with Sebastian, and thus it came about, that morning in June, that I was lying beside him in the shade of the high elms watching the smoke from his lips drift up into the branches.”
― Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

“I knew Sebastian by sight long before I met him. That was unavoidable for, from his first week, he was the most conspicuous man of his year by reason of his beauty, which was arresting, and his eccentricities of behaviour, which seemed to know no bounds... I was struck less by his looks than by the fact that he was carrying a large teddy-bear".”
― Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

“Sebastian is in love with his own childhood. That will make him very unhappy.”
― Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited
