The Secret Hotel in Berlin Quotes

“Nobody speaks up, nobody’s ever dared, and that silence has created a terrible power.”
― Catherine Hokin, The Secret Hotel in Berlin

“War wasn’t glorious. It wasn’t won because one side had heroes and the other had cowards. The truth was that no side had more right to victory than the other. No man had more right to live than the man he was trying to kill. War was pain and fear and dying men screaming for their mothers. It was the stink of blood and the screech of shells. It was filthy foxholes and relentless rain, thick sucking mud and blizzards which swallowed up the sky and the ground and reduced the world to a scream.”
― Catherine Hokin, The Secret Hotel in Berlin
