Ernest Vincent Wright Quotes

Stopping A War; That Is, Stopping Actual Military Combat, Is Not Stopping A War In All Its Factors. During Continuous Hard Strain A Human Mind Can Hold Up; And It Is Truly Amazing How Much It Can Stand. Day By Day, With That War-strain Of Worry Pulling It Down, It Staunchly Holds Aloof, As A Mighty Oak In Facing A Storm. But It Has A Limit!! With Too Much Too Long Strain, It Will Snap; Just As That Mighty Oak Will Fall, In A Long Fight.
