Evelyn Waugh

Every Englishman abroad, until it is proved to the contrary, likes to consider himself a traveller and not a tourist.

The worse I am, the more I need God. I can't shut myself out from His mercy. That is what it would mean; starting a life with you, without Him. Julia to Charles

I did not know it was possible to be so miserable and live but I am told that this is a common experience.

Free as air; that's what they say- "free as air". Now they bring me my air in an iron barrel.

These memories, which are my life--for we possess nothing certainly except the past--were always with me.

There's only one great evil in the world today. Despair.
