A SURE SIGN OF INSANITY

'"I have noticed again and again since I have been in the Church that lay interest in ecclesiastical matters is often a prelude to insanity."' 

Evelyn Waugh, Decline and Fall, p.72. 

ENGLISH PUBLIC SCHOOLS

'"There's a blessed equity in the English social system," said Grimes, "that ensures the public-school man against starvation. One goes through four or five years of hell at an age when life is bound to be hell, anyway, and after that the social system never lets you down.'"  

Evelyn Waugh, Decline and Fall, p.28.
