Brideshead Quote


“I wish I liked Catholics more.”

“They seem just like other people.”

“My dear Charles, that’s exactly what they’re not–particularly in this country, where they’re so few. It’s not just that they’re a clique–as a matter of fact, they’re about four cliques all blackguarding each other half the time–but they’ve got an entirely different outlook on life; everything they think important is different from other people. They try and hide it as much as they can, but it comes out all the time. It’s quite natural, really, that they should.”

from Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited
