Quotes by David Downing (?)

“the remark of a Middlesex Regiment officer in 1918. 鈥淚ntelligence services,鈥� the man had said, 鈥渁re prone to looking up their own arses and wondering why it鈥檚 dark.”
― David Downing, Zoo Station

“All the governments were telling their soldiers that they had God and right on their side, and that dying for their country was the least they could do, but 鈥� well, think about it 鈥� what does it mean, dying for your country? What exactly is your country? The buildings and the grass and the trees? The people? The way of life? People say you should love your country, and be proud of it, and there are usually things to love and be proud of. But there are usually things to dislike as well, and every country has things to be ashamed of. So what does dying for your country achieve? Nothing, as far as I could see. Living for your country, you get the chance to make it better.”
