Inside this hothouse, huge lascivious orchids slide sensuously up the sweating windows, passion-flowers cross-pollinate in wild heliotrope abandon, lotuses writhe with poppies in the sweet warm beds, kumquats ripen, open and plop flatly to the floor-and outside, in a neat, trimly-hoed kitchen-garden, English bohemians sit in cold orderly rows, like carrots.”

Surely it is no accident that the study of history has been the solace of many of the noblest minds of every generation.”
“The reason that the American Navy does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the Americans practice chaos on a daily basis.”
