A work of art is not a matter ...

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.

There's only one great evil in the world today. Despair.

I can't bare you when you're not amusing.

Evelyn Waugh 240 quotes

Perhaps all our loves are mere...

Perhaps all our loves are merely hints and symbols; vagabond-language scrawled on gate-posts and paving-stones along the weary road that others have tramped before us; perhaps you and I are types and this sadness which sometimes falls between us springs from disappointment in our search, each straining through and beyond the other, snatching a glimpse now and then of the shadow which turns the corner always a pace or two ahead of us.

Evelyn Waugh 240 quotes

He wasn't a complete human bei...

He wasn't a complete human being at all. He was a tiny bit of one, unnaturally developed; something in a bottle, an organ kept alive in a laboratory. I thought he was a sort of primitive savage, but he was something absolutely modern and up-to-date that only this ghastly age could produce. A tiny bit of a man pretending to be whole.

To understand all is to forgive all.

I felt that I was leaving part of myself behind, and that wherever I went afterwards I should feel the lack of it, and search for it hopelessly, as ghosts are said to do, frequenting the spots where they buried material treasures without which they cannot pay their way to the nether world.

Evelyn Waugh 240 quotes

That was the change in her from ten years ago; that, indeed, was her reward, this haunting, magical sadness which spoke straight to the heart and struck silence; it was the completion of her beauty.

Evelyn Waugh 240 quotes

The most futile and disastrous...

The most futile and disastrous day seems well spent when it is reviewed through the blue, fragrant smoke of a Havana Cigar.

Evelyn Waugh 240 quotes

These memories, which are my life--for we possess nothing certainly except the past--were always with me.

I do not believe the expenditure of $2.50 for a book entitles the purchaser to the personal friendship of the author.

Evelyn Waugh 240 quotes

One can write, think and pray exclusively of others; dreams are all egocentric.

I have a good mind not to take Aloysius to Venice. I don't want him to meet a lot of horrid Italian bears and pick up bad habits.

If we can't stamp out literature in the country, we can at least stop its being brought in from outside.

I haven't been to sleep for over a year. That's why I go to bed early. One needs more rest if one doesn't sleep.

I [had] added another small piece to the pages of the atlas that were real to me.

Dearest Charles-- I found a bo...

Dearest Charles-- I found a box of this paper at the back of a bureau so I must write to you as I am mourning for my lost innocence. It never looked like living. The doctors despaired of it from the start... I am never quite alone. Members of my family keep turning up and collecting luggage and going away again, but the white raspberries are ripe. I have a good mind not to take Aloysius to Venice. I don't want him to meet a lot of horrid Italian bears and pick up bad habits. Love or what you will. S.

that is not the last word; it is not even an apt word; it is a dead word from ten years back.

Evelyn Waugh 240 quotes

Most writers in the course of ...

Most writers in the course of their careers become thick-skinned and learn to accept vituperation, which in any other profession would be unimaginably offensive, as a healthy counterpoise to unintelligent praise.
