Excerpt

"Nov. 6, 1942:I have no real rapport with the 'workers,' in fact I actively detest them en masse. They grumble and strike and behave abominably while their very existence is made possible by sailors and merchant seamen who get a quarter or less than a quarter of what they do.

Jan. 30, 1948: Gandhi has been assassinated. In my humble opinion, a bloody good thing but far too late.

Nov. 11, 1949: Read the unexpurgated De Profundis. Poor Oscar Wilde ... odd that such brilliant wit should be allied to no humor at all.

March 9, 1953: Graham Greene was very agreeable and his beastliness to me in the past I have forgiven but not forgotten. He has a strange, tortured mind but, like most of God's creatures, aches to be loved."
