Malcolm Bradbury quotes
I like the English. They have the most rigid code of immorality in the world.
If God had been a liberal, we wouldn't have had the Ten Commandments - we'd have the Ten Suggestions.
Life is a crisis - so what!
Only the old are innocent. That is what the Victorians understood, and the Christians. Original sin is a property of the young. The old grow beyond corruption very quickly.
The English are polite by telling lies. The Americans are polite by telling the truth.
