"World within World" - A Autobiografia de Stephen Spender

Falando da sua Mulher, Inêz:

"She had been educated in convents in Portugal, France and England. A result of this education was a passionate hatred of Catholicism, especially when it was incarnated in nuns. She told me at school what she had feared most was the sermons on eternity. After having thought deeply about the prospect of living for ever, she decided that to her an everlasting existence even in heaven would be hell. She went to the Mother Superior and begged, that she might be let off having to live for eternity"
