Additional quotes by Robert Conquest

On political matters basically the best, though not infallible, source is rumour at a high political or police level.

Truth can thus only percolate in the form of hearsay.

Seven Ages: first puking and mewling
Then very pissed-off with your schooling
Then fucks, and then fights
Next judging chaps' rights
Then sitting in slippers: then drooling.
