From "How Green Was My Valley"
"It is very strange to think back like this, although come to think of it, there is no fence or hedge around Time that has gone. You can go back and have what you like if you remember it well enough."
"How Green Was My Valley" by Richard Llewellyn, 1939

First in a new series: favorite quotations
"Perhaps the sexual life is the great test. If we can survive it with charity to those we love and with affection to those we have betrayed, we needn't worry so much about the good and the bad in us. But jealousy, distrust, cruelty, revenge, recrimination ... then we fail. The wrong is in that failure even if we are the victims and not the executioners. Virtue is no excuse."
"The Comedians" by Graham Greene (1966)
