"07.Dec.1939: “Everybody is surprised that nothing has been heard about Hitler lately. They say that he either is dead or has been removed from power, etc. News about major German air and sea defeats is reaching us. Everybody would like to have reliable information at last. An old Jewish saying: ‘I need _rachemim_’ [Hebrew; mercy].”" Apr 04, 2026 08:20AM

“The first casualty of war is the truth.”
Julie Berry, Lovely War

“The war, she saw, killed more than those whose families received telegrams.”
Julie Berry, Lovely War

Julie Berry
“Whatever boost sixty captured miles might have brought to German morale was erased by the chocolate in the BEF’s packs.

War is morale. War is supply. War is chocolate.”
Julie Berry

Erich Maria Remarque
“Katczinsky is right when he says it would not be such a bad war if only one could get a little more sleep.”
Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

William T. Vollmann
“A less negative carbon ideologue then I might interpret the lonely wariness of Mr. Winkler and of Sharon Carlisle as proof of wrongheaded irrelevance. Socrates was equally irrelevant once the Athenians had served him his hemlock. The insipidities of the hollowed out Greeley Tribune, the no comment of most people to whom I “reached out,” and the typical anomie of an American metropolis, whose citizens I rarely saw except in their cars, in retail establishments or at the Fourth of July parade, operated synergistically to create the usual hot wide silence—about fracking, climate change, democracy and every other thing. A certain form of economic development held sway, and that was that.”
William T. Vollmann, No Good Alternative: Volume Two of Carbon Ideologies
