“You do not win a war by dying for your country. You win a war by making sure that some poor bastard dies for his.”
Mal Peet, Tamar

“So? You think people stop talking to you when they are dead?”
Mal Peet, Tamar

“Sentimentality and nostalgia are closely related. Kissing cousins. I have no time for nostalgia, though. Nostalgics believe the past is nicer than the present. It isn't. Or wasn't. Nostalgics want to cuddle the past like a puppy. But the past has bloody teeth and bad breath. I look into its mouth like a sorrowing dentist.”
Mal Peet, Life: An Exploded Diagram
