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.

Once you do away with the idea of people as fixed...I feel a burden if I don't write...The human race has one really effective weapon...I don't think that architecture is only about shelter...Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb...At a dinner party one should eat wisely...
