“History's long rhythm of challenges and response, of solutions that breed new crises, is not to be interrupted. But the Cold War left one shining example of human wisdom as a legacy for the future. Fifty years after the first use of atomic weapons, the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki remain unique and poignant shrines to the inspiring fact that they have no successor. The long confrontation of the Cold War, a struggle to the death between two systems for the mastery of human destiny, was managed and resolved without that nuclear war which lurked in the monstrous imminence in silos and submarines around the globe. That was the real victory.”

― Martin Walker, An Enemy in the Village

― Martin Walker, Black Diamond

“Well, let them see that gunfights are squalid, messy things, he thought; they should know that human bodies like Nancy’s are thin and vulnerable bags of skin that pour out blood when pierced.”
