Quote

We are a nation at war - and we should act like it.

We're living through a time where we are fighting wars fostered by politics, admittedly not on the same scale as the First World War, but with equally tragic realities for our soldiers and their families.

We are muddled into war.

We came to know each other in war, and in war we continue.

War is in the eyes.

If you want the human psyche, how we deal with humans in these situations, WWII is a very tangled place to go.

I remember the 1940s as a time when we were united in a way known only to that generation. We belonged to a common cause-the war.

I was born during the war and grew up in a time of rationing. We didn't have anything. It's influenced the way I look at the world.

The world is organised by the war economy and the war culture.

War is a contagion.
