... when there is a war the years are longer that is to say the days are longer the months are longer the years are much longer but the weeks are shorter that is what makes a war.

That is what you are. That's what you all are...All of you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation.

Disillusionment in living is finding that no one can really ever be agreeing with you completely in anything.

Once upon a time the world was round, and you could go on it around and around.

Since the war nothing is so really frightening not the dark not alone in a room or anything on a road or a dog or a moon but two things, yes, indigestion and high places they are frightening.

Once more I can climb about and remind you that a woman in this epoch does the important literary thinking.

The one thing that everybody wants is to be freenot to be managed, threatened, directed, restrained, obliged, fearful, administered, they want none of these things they all want to feel free … The only thing that any one wants now is to be free, to be let alone, to live their life as they can, but not to be watched, controlled and scared, no no, not.
