Wonder weapons... my God, I don't see the wonder in them. Killing without heroics, nothing is glorified... nothing is reaffirmed? No heroes, no cowards, no troops, no generals? Only those who are left alive... and those who are left dead. I'm glad I won't live to see it. (George S. Patton)

The New Women I could barely recognize them as being of the same sex as myself . . . . They are satiated by everything, hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be they are what I worked for them to be and now I see them, I hate them.

Fay Weldon

It was like when you make a move in chess and just as you take your finger off the piece, you see the mistake you've made, and there's this panic because you don't know yet the scale of disaster you've left yourself open to.

Kazuo Ishiguro

Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them.
