Quotes by Bruce Marshall (?)

“That's just the trouble really. Nobody's shocked by anything anymore; we're not shocked by deceit, cruelty, lust for power, faithlessness, money-grubbing. Indeed, we accept it as inevitable that each and every one of our fellow men should be impelled only by selfishness. Well, sir, let me say that it's stupid of us not to be shocked, because the continuation of our civilisation depends precisely upon our ability to be shocked.”
― Bruce Marshall, Vespers in Vienna

“She cannot be allowed to go on staying in Rome, exercising what you of all people ought to know are subversive activities. Just imagine for a moment what might happen to the world if she succeeded in getting the Pope to make some great galumping statement which would make the Russians religious. Stalin would never forgive us.”
― Bruce Marshall, Vespers in Vienna

“The colonel could swear with vehemence and originality when he was angry, spilling his oaths in a pretty pepper and disproving Talleyrand's definition of swearing as the means by which the inarticulate gave themselves the impression of eloquence.”
