“Unfortunately my impression of Bolshevik behavior is that peace is out of the question. If someone puts a knife to my throat I have an unpleasant feeling. I am not a man to whom one can speak in such a manner.
I know the Bolsheviks are concentrating large forces on our front. They are making a mistake, thinking they can frighten us and present us with an ultimatum. Our army is ready.”
Joseph Pilsudski
“The whole world is a series of miracles, but we're so used to them we call them ordinary things.”
Hans Christian Andersen
“Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. It undergoes continual changes: it is barbarous, it is civilized, it is rich, it is scientific; but this change is not amelioration. For every thing that is given, something else is taken. Society acquires new arts and loses old instincts.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
