“When love ends, everything in our lives becomes worthless. The people around us become just names that our ears meet and our eyes see without them having a real impact on the course of our lives. All means of entertainment become mere decoration in the house, and our lives become insanely boring.

Important voices in the press of Britain, France and America urged that 'the wrong war' had started, that the war should be switched against the USSR as the greater enemy.”
