Notable quotes

“I adore war. ... It is like a big picnic but without the objectivelessness of a picnic. I have never been more well or more happy. ... It just suits my stolid health and stolid nerves and barbaric disposition. The fighting-excitement vitalizes everything, every sight and action. One loves one's fellow man so much more when one is bent on killing him.”
— In a letter from October 1914, reported in Neil Hollander, Elusive Dove (2013), p. 191 and Max Hastings, Catastrophe 1914 (2013), pp. 527–8
