第2章 Epigraph

"… Never tell all you feel, or (a better way still), feel very little…

at any rate never have any feelings which may make you

uncomfortable, or make any promises which you cannot at any required moment command and withdraw. That is the way to get on…"

William Makepeace Thackeray: Vanity Fair

1847

"Wer spricht von Siegen? überstehen ist Alles."

Rainer Maria Rilke: Requiem, für Wolf Graf von Kalckreuth

1908

"The warriors are dead. The warriors died in two world wars.

Those who remain are the barterers. They know the price of

coffee and cocoa and sugar and flour in a defeated country."

Kay Boyle: The Lovers of Gain

1950
