“At Harvard I learned most uncomfortably that facts are facts. In Italy I learned that facts are the way you look at them.”
Sean O'Faolain

“(the modern writer’s aim is) general revelation by suggestion (and) making a very tiny part do for a whole.”
Sean O'Faolain

“My final thought now is that as in religion and the arts, so in politics; if men do not balance their feelings and intelligence they lose command of both - and worse still, of their object.”
Sean O'Faolain
