Strange as it may seem, my life is based on a true story

Life is the only game in which the object of the game is to learn the rules.

Success for some people, depends on becoming well-known, for others it depends on never being found out.

In one sense, I have always felt glad to have had the war [World War II] in my childhood, because, as a result, nothing that has happened in the world since then has ever seemed quite so bad. On the other hand, I never entirely got over my feeling of being cheated when the promised era of peace in a wonderful "post-war world" failed to materialize. I could not understand how, after all that, people could ever even think of fighting again. And I still can't.
