Quotes by Len Deighton

“Do you ever make silly mistakes? It is one of my very few creative activities.”
― Len Deighton

tags: humor , mistakes , silliness

5 people liked it

“England's civil war had ended in a consensus as the English discovered that they hated foreigners more than they hated their own countrymen.”
― Len Deighton, Blood, Tears and Folly: An Objective Look at World War II

1 person liked it

“The sacrifices they had made persuaded the French people that they alone had won the war, and their government did nothing to correct this impression. The Canadians buried at Vimy Ridge, the British sailors lost at sea, Australians and New Zealanders who had fallen at Gallipoli, the Indian Corps which had frozen at Armentirères in the first winter of the war, Americans killed at Champagne and Argonne, all these were forgotten.”
