“April is the cruelest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers. Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade, And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten, And drank coffee, and talked for an hour. Bin gar keine Russin, stamm' aus Litauen, echt deutsch. And when we were children, staying at the arch-duke's, My cousin's, he took me out on a sled, And I was frightened. He said, Marie, Marie, hold on tight. And down we went. In the mountains, there you feel free. I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.”

“Heus jongen, de reden om te vechten doet er nooit toe. Die is altijd een smoes. Net als bij jullie mensen.' Ik begreep niet wat ze bedoelde. 'Mensen?' vroeg ik. 'Mensen worden toch niet gegoten?' Ze keek me aan. 'Jawel,' zei ze. 'Jawel jongen, ook mensen worden gegoten.' Ik dacht dat ze me voor de gek hield, maar ze ging door: 'En bij dat gieten gaat het om de eerste druppel: die wint, en dat winnen zit in het bloed. Daar blijven ze hun leven lang om vechten. Op leven en dood. Ze kunnen het niet helpen.”

“Can 100 people devoted to war be more effective than 1 million people devoted to peace? Of course it is possible, because 100 people who devote themselves to war mean morally rotten people, and the evil methods used by morally rotten people are much more effective than the well-intentioned and sometimes even childish methods of peace-loving people!”
