1 " The Captain turned away from the mirror and said, 'Thank God, I'm not in danger of prison here. I'm only in danger of death. "
― Graham Greene , The Captain and the Enemy
2 " One can't always be wise, can one, in a world like this? "
3 " When you're not a good man yourself you respect a good man. Now I'd prefer to die with a good man around. A good man teaches a lot of nonsense and a bad man teaches truth [...] I'm not the one to teach the boy nonsense. "
4 " I am now in my twenty-second year and yet the only birthday which I can clearly distinguish among all the rest is my twelfth, for it was on that damp and misty day in September I met the Captain for the first time. "
