What's really good is that there are people making stories and writing them and the vast majority never see the light of day and it doesn't matter a fig.
Michael MorpurgoEveryone is interested in war, in that people don't want it to happen. I'm much more interested in peace than in war but it's important to understand why we fight.

Michael MorpurgoThis one isnโt just any old horse. Thereโs a nobility in his eye, a regal serenity about him. Does he not personify all that men try to be and never can be? I tell you, my friend, thereโs divinity in a horse, and specially in a horse like this. God got it right the day he created them. And to find a horse like this in the middle of this filthy abomination of a war, is for me like finding a butterfly on a dung heap. We donโt belong in the same universe as a creature like this.
