I don’t want to get any messages saying, “I am holding my position.” We are not holding a Goddamned thing. Let the germans do that. We are advancing constantly and we are not interested in holding onto anything, except the enemy’s ***.

That’s a three-star general for you (well, take or add one or two).

When I first read it, it was awesome because it talked about us (I was young, even more impressionable and still studying industrial engineering).

This time has been absolutely fascinating because it doesn’t talk at all about us (whatever us means around me now).

Or perhaps it talks. A little. ;-)

These two places have a little of the innocence and egolessness which is necesary to the quality without a name. And why? Because the people who made them simply do not care what people think of them. I don’t mean that they are defiant: people who defiantly don’t care what other people think of them, they still care at least enough to be defiant—and that is still a posture.

These places are not innocent, and cannot reach the quality without a name, because they are made with an outward glance. The people who made them make them the way they do because they are trying to convey something, some image, to the world outside. Even when they are made to seem natural, even their naturalness is calculated; it is in the end a pose.

Ok, ok, un punto de cinismo no viene mal al leerlo. Tampoco os lo toméis al pie de la letra.

“Now there are a good few hundred of these young women in the Zone who’re smitten with love for Tchitcherine, all of them sharp as foxes, but none quite as stubborn as Geli—and none are witches”.
