... the task of youth is not only its own salvation but the salvation of those against whom it rebels, but in that case there must... be something vital to rebel against and if the elderly stiffly refuse to put up a vigorous front of their own, it leaves the entire situation in a mist.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building--like Tower Bridge--or a classical front put on a s...teel frame--like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living--not something added, like sugar on a pill.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
People who feel insecure in social situations never miss a chance to exhibit their dominance over close, submissive friends, whom ...they put down publicly, in front of everyone--by teasing, for example.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
For forty days, for forty nights Jesus put one foot in front of the other... and the man he carried, if it was a man, became heavier and heavier.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
With the present wage conditions there are thousands of young women who are living in a state of semi-starvation and they are alwa...ys surrounded by the most terrible temptation. Oh, I know that some of [the] greatest reformers insist that a girl's virtue is not affected by under-nourishment, disease and nervous collapse; but if these well housed, well fed, well dressed people were put in a dirty, ugly room, if their clothes did not protect them from the cold, if their stomachs were never filled, would not even the staunchest lose some of her self-respect when looking forward to an old age? It is only a matter of wonder to me that so many girls keep clean and decent through it all.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able ...to accomplish in it.

Paul de Bursac: You don't think much of me, Captain Morgan. You're wondering why they have chosen me for this mission. I wonder to...o. As you know, I am not a brave man. On the contrary, I'm always frightened. I wish I could borrow your nature for awhile, Captain. When you meet danger, you never think of anything except how you will circumvent it. The word failure does not even exist for you. While I, I think always, suppose I fail and that I am frightened. Harry Morgan: Yeah, I can easily see how it wouldn't take much courage to get a notorious patriot off Devils' Island. But uh, but just for professional reasons, I'd like to know how you're going to do it. Paul de Bursac: We will find a way. It might fail, and if it does and I'm, I'm still alive, I will try to pass on my information, my mission, to someone else, perhaps to a better man who does not fail. Because there is always someone else. That is the mistake the Germans always make with people they try to destroy. There will be always someone else.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Old age, believe me, is a good and pleasant thing. It is true you are gently shouldered off the stage, but then you are given such... a comfortable front stall as spectator.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
