The White Mouse Quotes

“When one remembers all the events in the 1930s which led to World War II, and to the victory which we were promised would bring peace and make the world a better place to live in, one can only wonder if it was all worth-while. We have only to look around us and see the same thing happening all over again. And old French saying can best express my sentiments.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.”
― Nancy Wake, The White Mouse

“In earlier history when groups of people declared war on each other the leaders always led their troops into battle. It is a great pity we do not have the same system today; perhaps our politicians would think twice before they gambled with the lives of their people.”
