It's unnatural for people to run around the city streets unless they are thieves or victims. It makes people nervous to see someone running. I know that when I see someone running on my street, my instincts tell me to let the dog go after him.

"Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love." ------------------------- "For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value." ------------------------- "I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers." ------------------------- "People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love." |

"The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it." ------------------------- "The torment of human frustration, whatever its immediate cause, is the knowledge that the self is in prison, its vital force and 'mangled mind' leaking away in lonely, wasteful self-conflict." ------------------------- "Travel, instead of broadening the mind, often merely lengthens the conversation." ------------------------- "The world is not run by thought, nor by imagination, but by opinion" ------------------------- "I Like this quote I dislike this quote"Democracy, like any non-coercive relationship, rests on a shared understanding of limits" |

"Anyone who has to fight, even with the most modern weapons, against an enemy in complete command of the air, fights like a savage against modern European troops, under the same handicaps and with the same chances of success." ------------------------- "But courage which goes against military expediency is stupidity, or, if it is insisted upon by a commander, irresponsibility." ------------------------- "Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning." ------------------------- "In a man-to-man fight, the winner is he who has one more round in his magazine." ------------------------- "The future battle on the ground will be preceded by battle in the air.
