“Cynicism is cheap—you can buy it at any Monoprix store—it’s built into all poor- quality goods.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“The Germans are called brutal, the Spanish cruel, the Americans superficial, and so on; but we are perfide Albion, the island of hypocrites, the people who have built up an Empire with a Bible in one hand, a pistol in the other, and financial concessions in both pockets. Is the charge true? I think it is.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
