Wolves don't hunt singly, but always in pairs. The lone wolf was a myth.John Fowles
I am going to explain to you why we went to war. Why mankind always does to war. It is not social or political. It is not countries that go to war, but men. It is like salt. Once one has been to war, one has salt for the rest of one's life. Men love war because it allows them to look serious. Because it is the one thing that stops women from laughing at them.
John Fowles
Our accepting what we are must always inhibit our being what we ought to be.
John Fowles
Content is a word unknown to life; it is also a word unknown to man.
John Fowles
An answer is always a form of death.
