| To walk through the ruined cities of Germany is to feel an actual doubt about the continuity of civilization. |
| To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words. Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence. He is struggling against vagueness, against obscurity, against the lure of the decorative adjective, against the encroachment of Latin and Greek, and, above all, against the worn-out phrases and dead metaphors with which the language is cluttered up. |
| War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it. |
| War is a way of shattering to pieces... materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and... too intelligent. |
| War is evil, but it is often the lesser evil |
| War is war. The only good human being is a dead one. |
| We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men |
| We may find in the long run that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine-gun. |
| We of the sinking middle class may sink without further struggles into the working class where we belong, and probably when we get there it will not be so dreadful as we feared, for, after all, we have nothing to lose. |
| We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm. |
| What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy? |
| Whatever is funny is subversive, every joke is ultimately a custard pie... a dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion. |
| When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic. |
| Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible. |
