My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.

Human nature is not black and white but black and grey.

Thought's a luxury. Do you think the peasant sits and thinks of God and Democracy when he gets inside his mud hut at night?

There is a point of no return, unremarked at the time, in most lives.
Graham Greene

Who knows whether there may not be a moment in childhood when the world changes forever, like making a face when the clock strikes?

She had lost all our memories for ever, and it was as though by dying she had robbed me of part of myself. I was losing my individuality. It was the first stage of my own death, the memories dropping off like gangrened limbs.

Politics, war, marriage, crime, adultery. Everything that exists in the world has something to do with money.

Death will come in any case, and there is a long afterwards if the priests are right and nothing to fear if they are wrong.
