Sebastian Faulks Quotes

Some crime against nature is about to be committed. I feel it in my veins. These men and boys are grocers and clerks, gardeners and fathers - fathers of small children. A country cannot bear to lose them.

I think that, in Israel, the greatest fear that people have, and I have it, too, is this fear of genocide.
