Mark Lilla
“Propositions become either pure or impure, not true or false.”
Mark Lilla, The Once and Future Liberal: After Identity Politics

Samuel Beckett
“I take no sides. I am interested in the shape of ideas. There is a wonderful sentence in Augustine: "Do not despair; one the thieves was saved. Do not presume; one of the thieves was damned." That sentence has a wonderful shape. It is the shape that matters.”
Samuel Beckett

Mark Lilla
“Identity is not the future of the left. It is not a force hostile to neoliberalism. Identity is Reaganism for lefties.”
Mark Lilla, The Once and Future Liberal: After Identity Politics

Graham Greene
“We didn’t want to be reminded of how little we counted, how quickly, simply, and anonymously death came. Even though my reason wanted the state of death, I was afraid like a virgin of the act. I would have liked death to come with due warning, so that I could prepare myself. For what? I didn’t know, nor how, except by taking a look around at the little I would be leaving.”
Graham Greene, The Quiet American

Graham Greene
“No shots had been fired; we were alive; death had withdrawn perhaps as far as the next canal.”
Graham Greene, The Quiet American
