Quotes from the same author
In the 19th century, the English were loathed. Every memoir that you read of that period, indicates the loathing that everybody felt for the English, the only difference between the English and Americans, in this respect, is the English rather liked being loathed and the Americans apparently dislike it intensely.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Sex is the ersatz or substitute religion of the 20th Century.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Few men of action have been able to make a graceful exit at the appropriate time.
Malcolm Muggeridge
When I look back on my life nowadays, which I sometimes do, what strikes me most forcibly about it is that what seemed at the time most significant and seductive, seems now most futile and absurd. For instance, success in all of its various guises; being known and being praised; ostensible pleasures, like acquiring money or seducing women, or traveling, going to and fro in the world and up and down in it like Satan, exploring and experiencing whatever Vanity Fair has to offer. In retrospect all these exercises in self-gratification seem pure fantasy, what Pascal called licking the earth.
Malcolm Muggeridge
Bad humor is an evasion of reality; good humor is an acceptance of it.
