"It has been fascinating to read a bildungsroman set in Wales at the beginning of the second world war. I enjoyed seeing philosophy from a teenage perspective, offering a new perspective on war and conscientious objection from people, next in line to fight, thrown together through circumstances outside their control, at a time when adulthood is causing its own natural difficulties in identity and self expression." — Mar 26, 2017 05:06AM

“And what are you that, missing you,
I should be kept awake
As many nights as there are days
With weeping for your sake?
And what are you that, missing you,
As many days as crawl
I should be listening to the wind
And looking at the wall?
I know a man that’s a braver man
And twenty men as kind,
And what are you, that you should be
The one man in my mind?
Yet women’s ways are witless ways,
As any sage will tell,—
And what am I, that I should love
So wisely and so well?”

“What do you mean less than nothing? I don't think there is any such thing as less than nothing. Nothing is absolutely the limit of nothingness. It's the lowest you can go. It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing? If there were something that was less than nothing, then nothing would not be nothing, it would be something - even though it's just a very little bit of something. But if nothing is nothing, then nothing has nothing that is less than it is.”
