"You and your like are trying to make a war with the help of people who just aren't interested...They
want enough rice. They don't want to be shot at. They want one day to be much the same as another. They
don't want our white skins around telling them what they want."
~Graham Greene (The Quiet American)

"There was starlight, but no moonlight. Moonlight reminds me of a mortuary and
the cold wash of an unshaded globe over a marble slab, but starlight is alive and never still; it is almost as though
someone in those vast spaces is trying to communicate a message of good will, for even the names of the stars are friendly.
Venus is any woman we love, the Bears are the bears of childhood, and I suppose the Southern Cross, to those, like my wife,
who believe, may be a favourite hymn or a prayer beside the bed."
~Graham Greene (The Quiet American)
