John Osborne
QuotationsHere we are, we're alone in the universe, there's no God, it just seems that it all began by something as simple as sunlight striking on a piece of rock. And here we are. We've only got ourselves. Somehow, we've just got to make a go of it. We've only ourselves.
The whole point of a sacrifice is that you give up something you never really wanted in the first place. . . . People are doing it around you all the time. They give up their careers, say -- or their beliefs -- or sex.
Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week's. Different books -- same reviews.
Oh, heavens, how I long for a little ordinary human enthusiasm. Just enthusiasm -- that's all. I want to hear a warm, thrilling voice cry out 'Hallelujah! Hallelujah. I'm alive!'
