Evelyn Waugh
“More even than the work of the great architects, I loved buildings that grew silently with the centuries, catching and keeping the best of each generation, while time curbed the artist's pride and the Philistine's vulgarity, and repaired the clumsiness of the dull workman.”
Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

Walker Percy

Walker Percy, The Moviegoer

Graham Greene, Orient Express

Russell Kirk
