    Michael G. Kramer
    “People of various parts of France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Poland, the USSR, and other places, were living among the ruins in the best way that they could. Because I was alone and homeless as well as confused, I opted to join the French Foreign Legion. When I was in the Wehrmacht, I thought that their discipline was extreme. However, it was nothing when compared to the discipline as practised by the Foreign Legion!”

    Max Brooks
    “They say great times make great men. I don't buy it. I saw a lot of weakness, a lot of filth. People who should have risen to the challenge and either couldn't or wouldn't. Greed, fear, stupidity and hate. I saw it before the war, I see it today. [...] I don't know if great times make great men, but I know they can kill them.”

    Louisa May Alcott
    “[F]or in this queer world of ours, fatherly and motherly hearts often beat warm and wise in the breasts of bachelor uncles and maiden aunts; and it is my private opinion that these worthy creatures are a beautiful provision of nature for the cherishing of other people's children. They certainly get great comfort out of it, and receive much innocent affection that otherwise would be lost.”

    Tracy Chevalier
    “Los buscadores dedicamos horas y horas, día tras día, haga el tiempo que haga, con la cara quemada por el sol, el cabello enmarañado por el viento, los ojos siempre entornados y las manos agrietadas. Tenemos las botas llenas de barro y con manchas del agua de mar. Nuestra ropa acaba mugrienta al final de la jornada. A menudo no encontramos nada, pero somos pacientes y trabajadores y no nos desanimamos cuando regresamos a casa con las manos vacías.”
    ― Tracy Chevalier, Las huellas de la vida
