Christopher Isherwood Quotes

Here, In Their Midst, George Feels A Sort Of Vertigo. Oh God, What Will Become Of Them All? What Chance Have They? Ought I To Yell Out To Them, Right Now, Here, That It's Hopeless? But George Knows He Can't Do That. Because, Absurdly, Inadequately, In Spite Of Himself, Almost, He Is A Representative Of The Hope. And The Hope Is Not False. No. It's Just That George Is Like A Man Trying To Sell A Real Diamond For A Nickel, On The Street. The Diamond Is Protected From All But The Tiniest Few, Because The Great Hurrying Majority Can Never Stop To Dare To Believe That It Could Conceivably Be Real.
