De profetische Evelyn Waugh


 

"I think it a great cheek of the Germans to try and teach the rest of the world anything about religion. They should be in perpetual sackcloth and ashes for all their enormities from Luther to Hitler"

Evelyn Waugh aan Lady Daphne Action, 15 maart 1963 (The Letters of Evelyn Waugh, ed. Mark Amory, Weidenfeld and Nicolason, 1980, p. 602).
