'I hope,' Mr. Nixon finally... «Black Swan Green»
echrejoy19 мая 2023'I hope,' Mr. Nixon finally went on, 'that, as you consider Thomas's sacrifice, you will think about the consequences of violence, be it military or emotional. I hope you will note who initiates violence, who conducts the violence, and who must pay the price of violence. Wars do not simply appear from nowhere. Wars come, over a long period of time, and believe me, there is always plenty of blame to be shared out between all those who failed to prevent its bloody arrival. I also hope you will consider what is truly precious inyour own lives, and what is merely... flimflam... grandstanding... froth... posturing... egotism.'
