“Consider the China pride and stagnant self-complacency of mankind.

It is the good Adam contemplating his own virtue.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“You have to give this much to the Luftwaffe: when it knocked down our buildings it did not replace them with anything more offensive than rubble. We did that.”
