Additional quotes by Anthony Burgess

I am instructed by the Home Secretary to read out the following. . . . It is a prayer devised by the Ministry of Propaganda. . . . ‘It is conceivable that the forces of death which at present are ravaging the esculent life of this planet have intelligence, in which case we beseech them to leave off. It we have done wrong — allowing in our blindness natural impulse to overcome reason — we are, of course, heartily sorry. But we submit that we have already suffered sufficiently for this wrong and we firmly resolve never to sin again. Amen.

Ama kötülüğün sebebini bulmaya çalışarak tırnakların kemirmeleri kahkahadan kırılmama yol açıyor kardeşlerim. İyiliğin sebebini aradıkları yok, öyleyse niye tersini merak ediyorlar ki?
(syf. 35)
