I've read a lot of war writing, even World War I writing, the British war poetry of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves's memoir 'Goodbye to All That', and a civilian memoir, 'Testament of Youth', by Vera Brittain.

Corruption is a cancer: a cancer that eats away...Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power...One afternoon when I was 9, my dad told me...Hard work opens doors and shows the world...The end of law is not to abolish or restrain...Only when the tide goes out...
