Great Lines From Great Books #3

Reading Brighton Rock by Graham Greene on the beach seems more than a little appropriate. Many of Greene's novels had moral, political and religious themes to them; and Brighton Rock was one of what the literary critics call his Catholic novels.

This is Ida on religion, or maybe on beer. The interpretation is open: "At one with the One, it didn't mean a thing beside a glass of Guinness on a sunny day."

Amen.
