“It could be worse,' Passini said respectfully. "There is nothing worse than war." Defeat is worse." I do not believe it," Passini said still respectfully. "What is defeat? You go home.”
“To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.”
“It's bad to grow old before your time. It's worse to not grow at all within your mind,”
“Growing old is inevitable - growing up is still optional”
“History respects revolutions; and yet, if a revolution is progressive, support it; if it is reactionary, resist it!”
