الصفحة 163 - ... the real thing, the sequence of motion and fact which made the emotion and which would be as valid in a year or in ten years or, with luck and if you stated it purely enough, always, was beyond me and I was working very hard to try to get it.
الصفحة 66 - HISTORY, n. An account mostly false, of events mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves, and soldiers mostly fools.
الصفحة 169 - ... directly, perhaps, but no less certainly, the development of F. Scott Fitzgerald from This Side of Paradise to The Great Gatsby, from a loose and subjective conception of the novel to an organized impersonal one, was also due to Christian's influence. He made us all want to write something in which every word, every cadence, every detail, should perform a definite / function in producing an intense effect.
الصفحة 154 - ... Military Government, and the psychiatric hospitals where some of the heroes were patients. Had I looked farther I could have found other novels, published or in manuscript, about nurses, surgeons, Wacs, Waves, ski-troopers, tank crews, battle wagons, submarines, and the General Staff — in fact, about every arm and rank of all the services in every theater of operations.

I saw that we could mouth democratic catchwords and yet give the Neapolitans a huge black market. I saw that we could prate of the evils of fascism, yet be just as ruthless as Fascists with people who'd...
الصفحة 170 - Continental authors in fashion during the 1940s, and although they influenced many novels about civilian life, they had no effect on the war novels I have been reading — unless there is a hint of Gide in The Gallery, and of that one can't be sure.

الصفحة 175 - Yes, we must. I believe without question that some morning a bunch of communist generals and commissars will be holding a meeting to discuss the future of the war.
