Quotes

On a Note of Triumph (1945)

New York: Simon and Schuster

• So they’ve given up.
  They’re finally done in, and the rat is dead in an alley back of the Wilhelmstrasse.
  Take a bow, G.I.,
  Take a bow, little guy.
  The superman of tomorrow lies at the feet of you common men of this afternoon.
  This is It, kid, this is The Day, all the way from Newburyport to Vladivostok.
  You had what it took and you gave it, and each of you has a hunk of rainbow round your helmet.
  Seems like free men have done it again.

• The storm arrived, and was no surprise to the barometer.
