I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race. The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them. We would rather die on our feet than live on our knees. Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me. The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and for deeds left undone.
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity. Truth is more of a stranger than fiction. I have not told half of what I saw. A light heart lives long.
