• "You're beautiful, like a May fly."
• "All good books have one thing in common-they are truer than if they had really happened."
• "If a writer ... knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows.... The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water."
• "Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime."
• "They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason."
