‘I don’t remember. One of the things which danger does to you after a time is—well, to kill emotion. I don’t think I shall ever feel anything again except fear. None of us can hate any more—or love. You know it’s a statistical fact that very few children are being born in our country.’ ‘But your war goes on. There must be a reason.’ ‘You have to feel something to stop a war. Sometimes I think we cling to it because there is still fear. If we were without that, we shouldn’t have any feeling at all. None of us will enjoy the peace.’
No hate or love, just fear
