Any non-commissioned officer is more of an enemy to a recruit, any schoolmaster to a pupil, then they are if they were free.

The crowd, still shouting, gives way before us. We plough our way through. Women hold their aprons over their faces and go stumbling away. A roar of fury goes up. A wounded man is being carried off.

Anyway the war is over so far as they are concerned. But to wait for dysentery is not much of a life either.

The later it gets the more disturbed the city becomes. I go with Albert through the streets. Men are standing in groups at every corner. Rumours are flying. It is said that the military have already fired on a procession of demonstrating workers.

A hospital alone shows what war is.

I am often on guard over the Russians. In the darkness one sees their forms move like stick storks, like great birds. They come close up to the wire fence and lean their faces against it. Their fingers hook round the mesh.

On the steps is a machine-gun ready for action. The square is empty; only the streets that lead into it are jammed with people. It would be madness to go farther - the machine-gun is covering the square.

We want to live at any price; so we cannot burden ourselves with feelings which, though they might be ornamental enough in peace-time, would be out of place here.

You may turn into an archangel a fool or a criminal no one will see it. But when a button is missing everyone sees that.

That is the remarkable thing about drinking it brings people together so quickly but between night and morning it sets an interval again of years.

No soldier outlives a thousand chances.

Strange how complicated we can make things just to avoid showing what we feel!

It's only terrible to have nothing to wait for.

We don't have a state, neither in Gaza nor in the West Bank. Gaza is under siege and the West Bank is occupied. What we have in the Gaza Strip is not a state, but rather a regime of an elected government. A Palestinian state will not be created at this time except in the territories of 1967.

I suppose I'm always trying to break down the wall between my characters and myself. I'm trying to make the film as expressive and personal as I can, even if I can't explain, for example, how important it is for me to be Jewish.

You're like this leopard who's pretending to be a house cat.

The first game of the year is always an in-season adjustment game.

Honestly, I do not care about my age.

Some of my finest memories are from my time at the University of Texas.

We're all shareholders. These guys below me, they see the CEO taking it easy, it's their money.

Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want and their kids pay for it.

Opinions cannot survive if one has no chance to fight for them.

Here the skeptic finds chaos and the believer further evidence that the hand that made us is divine.

I like rock music that has melody, but it also makes you wanna get up and dance.

I think you create your own hipness.

Openness may not completely disarm prejudice, but it's a good place to start.

There are beautiful examples of art done by chimpanzees in human care.

I was never into makeup when I was younger, and I still love not piling on the makeup every day, but as I've gotten older I've actually found makeup to be fun.

The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine.

The tremendous honour of the Nobel Prize is of the strongest incentive to me in my work, while the amount of the Prize will greatly simplify my task and provide me with much valuable help in my work.

I'm not a politician. I'd make a lousy politician.

Peace is not the absence of war but the presence of justice.

Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's 'Courant', it no longer requires a dystopic imagination to wonder who will have the dubious distinction of publishing America's last genuine newspaper. Few believe that newspapers in their current printed form will survive.

I think the most interesting New Yorkers are the people who were not born here.

If your music is great, you will have fans, not because you have spent time chatting on social media.
