Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered. – Graham Greene
Writing is a form of therapy sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation. – Graham Greene
I have often noticed that a bribe has that effect — it changes a relation. The man who offers a bribe gives away a little of his own importance; the bribe once accepted, he becomes the inferior, like a man who has paid for a woman. – Graham Greene

I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves, where do I want to be today, where do I want to be tomorrow, and where do I want to be in a hundred years? We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. Its a real shame if we dont spend our lives trying to do that. – Jack Antonoff
