He hoped that in the end even war surrendered."

He was also tired of being frightened, like a man who has entered a cave on a lark and now begins to suspect he is lost. Stop thinking about it, then. That's the solution."


"Everybody trusts a guy in a raincoat. I don't know why. It's just one of those mystery facts."
