Quotations

“I have lived through two world wars and more and I have become convinced that we have done too much remembering and too little learning. I speak as a citizen of my own country and of the world, but also from the viewpoint of a woman. It may be a biological advantage or an emotional one.” (War and Peace Somerset; photo tacci-moris.com)
