We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for ours to amuse them  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) Soon someone would say the fatal words, “Well, I think it’s time for me to go to bed”  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) These memories, which are my life-for we possess nothing certainly except the past-were always with me  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) Free as air; that’s what they say- “free as air”. Now they bring me my air in an iron barrel  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) 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  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) He had no strength for any other war than his own solitary struggle to keep alive  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) News is what a chap who doesn’t care much about anything wants to read  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) Beer commercials are so patriotic: Made the American Way. What does that have to do with America? Is that what America stands for? Feeling sluggish and urinating frequently?  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) What is youth except a man or a woman before it is ready or fit to be seen  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) Of the many smells of Athens two seem to me the most characteristic - that of garlic, bold and deadly like acetylene gas. and that of dust, soft and warm and caressing like tweed  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) I [had] added another small piece to the pages of the atlas that were real to me  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) Port is not for the very young, the vain and the active. It is the comfort of age and the companion of the scholar and the philosopher  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) After all, damn it, what does being in love mean if you can’t trust a person  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) There is an Easter sense in which all things are made new in the risen Christ. A tiny gleam of this is reflected in all true art  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) Its theme- the operation of divine grace on a group of diverse but closely connected characters- was perhaps presumptuously large, but I make no apology for it  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) The splendid thing about education is that everyone wants it. Like influenza, you can give it away without losing any of it yourself  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) The sky over London was glorious, ochre and madder, as though a dozen tropic suns were simultaneously setting round the horizon... Everywhere the shells sparkled like Christmas baubles  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) I do not believe the expenditure of $2.50 for a book entitles the purchaser to the personal friendship of the author  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) I never can understand how two men can write a book together; to me that’s like three people getting together to have a baby  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) Beavers bred in captivity, inhabiting a concrete pool, will, if given the timber, fatuously go through all the motions of damming an ancestral stream  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) The great charm in argument is really finding one’s own opinions, not other people’s  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) My children weary me. I can only see them as defective adults: feckless, destructive, frivolous, sensual, humorless  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) A work of art is not a matter of thinking beautiful thoughts or experiencing tender emotions, but of intelligence, skill, taste, proportion, knowledge, discipline and industry; especially discipline  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) His courtesy was somewhat extravagant. He would write and thank people who wrote to thank him for wedding presents and when he encountered anyone as punctilious as himself the correspondence ended only with death  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) It is easy, retrospectively, to endow one’s youth with a false precocity or a false innocence; to tamper with the dates marking one’s stature on the edge of the door  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) They are a very decent generous lot of people out here and they don’t expect you to listen... It’s the secret of social ease in this country. They talk entirely for their own pleasure. Nothing they say is designed to be heard  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) I have been in the scholastic profession long enough to know that nobody enters it unless he has some very good reason that he is anxious to conceal  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) Beerbohm was a genius of the purest kind. He stands at the summit of his art  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) Then I knew that the sign I had asked for was not a little thing, not a passing nod of recognition, and a phrase came back to me from my childhood of the veil of the temple being rent from top to bottom  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes) ... its a rather pleasant change when all your life you’ve had people looking after you, to have someone to look after yourself. Only of course it has to be someone pretty hopeless to need looking after by me  (Evelyn Waugh Quotes)
