As a precocious teen I dreamed of being Graham Greene. Well, as it turned out, I never wrote a great novel, sadly, and I never converted to Catholicism, happily, but I did do one thing he did.

Of John Le Carre’s books, I’ve only read ‘The Spy Who Came In From The Cold,’ and I haven’t read anything by Graham Greene, but I’ve heard a great deal about how ‘Your Republic Is Calling You’ reminded English readers of those two writers.

You and me and poor Jones will not even figure in a footnote. It will be all economics, politics, battles. (Graham Greene Quotes)
There are times when a lover longs to be also a father and a brother: he is jealous of the years he hasn’t shared. (Graham Greene Quotes)
Rocinante was of more value for a true traveller than a jet plane. Jet planes were for business men. (Graham Greene Quotes)
