Evelyn Waugh

“News is what a chap who doesn't care much about anything wants to read. And it's only news until he's read it. After that it's dead.”

“There is a species of person called a 'Modern Churchman' who draws the full salary of a beneficed clergyman and need not commit himself to any religious belief.”

“I think to be oversensitive about cliches is like being oversensitive about table manners.”

“All this fuss about sleeping together. For physical pleasure I'd sooner go to my dentist any day.”
