Tonight, more than any other night, I want to feel alive.

If it is possible to be happy in the middle of a nightmare, then Topthorn and I were happy that summer.

It's good to focus on the universal suffering that goes on in any war. Whatever the right and wrongs of the war, there is always universal suffering.

That's what this war is all about, my friend. It's about which of us is the crazier.And clearly you British have an advantage.You were crazy beforehand.

Wars become history all too soon and are forgotten all too soon as well, before the lessons can be learned.
