“War teaches us honesty. Honesty with ourselves. For war is a merciless debunker; it debunks great and small alike....When bombs are crashing and fires raging, people are exactly what they are -- nothing more, nothing less. At such times you have the sensation of standing morally naked in public, and you will never be able to forget it, try as hard as you may.”

“People will believe a big lie sooner than a little one, and if you repeat it frequently enough, people will sooner or later believe it.”

“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”

“You should seek your enemy, you should wage your war - a war for your opinions. And when your opinion is defeated, our honesty should still cry triumph over that!”

“True love never has to end so why shouldn't our story continue after the last page has been written”

“Honesty is the best policy because there can be nothing less.”

“A great many of those who "debunk" traditional or (as they would say) "sentimental" values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process”
