“As the Libyan engagement has shown, “Western” air power can be a most appropriate and useful instrument in the context of so-called asymmetric conflicts. Yet it succeeded (and even then only after six months) only because NATO nations decided to arm the insurgents and sent in special forces to teach the untrained rebels how to become a skilled military force that could exploit favorable air situations on the ground.”
John Andreas Olsen, European Air Power: Challenges and Opportunities

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
“With stammering lips and insufficient sound I strive and struggle to deliver right the music of my nature.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Stefan Zweig
“But love truly becomes love only when, no longer an embryo developing painfully in the darkness of the body, it ventures to confess itself with lips and breath. However hard it tries to remain a chrysalis, a time comes when the intricate tissue of the cocoon tears, and out it falls, dropping from the heights to the farthest depths, falling with redoubled force into the startled heart.”
Stefan Zweig, Journey into the Past

Alfred Tennyson
“Dark house, by which once more I stand
Here in the long unlovely street,
Doors, where my heart was used to beat
So quickly, waiting for a hand,

A hand that can be clasp'd no more -
Behold me, for I cannot sleep,
And like a guilty thing I creep
At earliest morning to the door.

He is not here; but far away
The noise of life begins again,
And ghastly thro' the drizzling rain
On the bald street breaks the blank day.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson, In Memoriam

Tennessee Williams
“To be free is to have achieved your life.”
Tennessee Williams
