Wayne’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Wartime: Understanding and Behavior in the Second World War

Wartime: Understanding and Behavior in the Second World War by Paul Fussell

1 note & 4 highlights

The soldiers consigned to the China-Burma-India Theater had much to endure, but not the least of their complaints was the failure of their public-relations people to garner much credit for them.

This was the theater of war where my dad served.

“You can’t make a dog happy by forcibly wagging its tail. And you can’t change people’s minds by utterly refuting their arguments.”
― Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion

“Our faith in merit is spiritually and morally harmful for parents and children, teachers and students, winners and losers, individuals and communities. And it is based on the belief that we are our own.”
― Alan Noble, You Are Not Your Own: Belonging to God in an Inhuman World

“We often talk about being “born again” as if we’ve left our past behind. But our past comes with us, often haunting us. Freedom’s trials can shatter our optimism, making us want to turn back to what was secure and familiar.”
― Chuck DeGroat, Leaving Egypt: Finding God in the Wilderness Places

“Keep your eye on the intuitions, and don’t take people’s moral arguments at face value. They’re mostly post hoc constructions made up on the fly, crafted to advance one or more strategic objectives.”
― Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion
