Jacques Yonnet Quotes

1944 - Exploring London In Wartime, A City With Stiff Upper Lip, Gritted Teeth, Clenched Fists, Makes You Realize That Paris Is A Bit Of Whore.

Every Day And Every Night For Weeks Now, London Has Been Bleeding And Hiding Its Wounds With Impressive Dignity. A 'don't Show Off' Attitude Prevails. From Time To Time A Sputtering Doodle-bug (a VI) Shatters The Torpor Of The Overcast Sky. One Second, Sometimes Two ... At Most Three ... Of Silence. Visualizing That Fat Cigar With Shark Fins As It Stops Dead, Sways, Idiotically Tips Over, Then Goes Into A Vertical Dive. And Explodes. Usually It's An Entire Building That's Destroyed.

Apparently The Civil Defense Rescue Teams Observe A Very Strict Rule Of Discretion And Restraint. You Never See Any Panic. In This Impassive City Detachment Is The Expression Of Panic.
