Failure too is a form of death. Graham Greene
Graham Greene quote: "If a woman is in one's thoughts all day, one should not have a..."

Yesterday I went home with him and we did the usual things. I haven't the nerve to put them down, but I'd like to, because now when I'm writing it's already tomorrow and I'm afraid of getting to the end of yesterday. As long as I go on writing, yesterday is today and we are still together Graham Greene
