“Wars become history all too soon and are forgotten all too soon as well, before the lessons can be learned.”
“...all the horrors of war are soon forgotten in the pomp and circumstance of show and parade.”
“Though the contradictions of war seem sudden and simultaneous, history stalks before it strikes. Something tolerated soon becomes something good.”
“Be not sick too late, nor well too soon”
“People who record birdsong generally do it very early--before six o'clock--if they can. Soon after that, the invasion of distant noise in most woodland becomes too constant and too loud.”
“It’s always about timing. If it’s too soon, no one understands. If it’s too late, everyone’s forgotten.”
