Winston Churchill

Fancy cutting down all those beautiful trees...to make pulp for those bloody newspapers, and calling it civilisation.
Winston Churchill
Image
May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen? There never has been, I suppose, in all the world, in all the history of war, such an opportunity for youth. The Knights of the Round Table, the Crusaders, all fall back into the past.
