" "The ghost of Harry Lime, Graham Greene's infamous anti-hero, inspires me to see a drizzle-in-lamp-light Vienna, yet the times I've been to the Austrian capital it’s always been sunny and hot. But I saw The Third Man when I was 12 years old and Vienna has been dark and drizzly ever since. Ditto the Wehrmacht uniform. I saw it as a child being worn by tall, blond German officers who were billeted in our house in Kolonaki. It has remained in my mind as the perfect military ensemble. And speaking of the Wehrmacht, if I couldn’t have been a German officer in Paris 1940, being an expatriate American there would have suited me fine.

Additional quotes by Taki Theodoracopulos
In Harvey's case, there is a lot to hang him with, and now that it's out in the open, they are all creeping out of the woodwork. Even an ugly waitress has suddenly recalled that she served the 'pig' while he hit on women. It's funny how feelings of anxiety and degradation suddenly appear when these kinds of revelations hit the papers.
