Percy

Love in the Ruins:

"All man needs is time and desire and the sense of his own sovereignty."

Percy

Love in the Ruins:

"I believe in God and the whole business but I love women best, music and science next, whiskey next, God fourth, and my fellowman hardly at all."

Percy

Reading Love in the Ruins again:

"I do not recall the number of occasions, Father, but I accuse myself of drunkenness, lusts, envies, fornication, delight in the misfortunes of others, and loving myself better than God and other men."
