The Mermaid and the Messerschmitt Quotes

“War teaches us honesty. Honesty with ourselves. For war is a merciless debunker; it debunks great and small alike....When bombs are crashing and fires raging, people are exactly what they are -- nothing more, nothing less. At such times you have the sensation of standing morally naked in public, and you will never be able to forget it, try as hard as you may.”
― Rulka Langer, The Mermaid and the Messerschmitt
