It was quite a European war until 1917 when the Americans joined up. They don't have the same sense of the loss of innocence and the cataclysmic loss of life. A whole generation was wiped out.

Total war is no longer war waged by all members of one national community against all those of another. It is total... because it may well involve the whole world.

Of all liars the most arrogant are biographers: those who would have us believe having surveyed a few boxes full of letters diaries bank statements and photographs that they can play at the recording angel and tell the whole truth about another human life.

When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of.

Popular opinions on subjects not palpable to sense are often true but seldom or never the whole truth.

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

The Bible may be the truth but it is not the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

There is never vulgarity in a whole truth however commonplace. It may be unimportant or painful. It cannot be vulgar. Vulgarity is only in concealment of truth or in affectation.

Everything deep is also simple and can be reproduced simply as long as its reference to the whole truth is maintained. But what matters is not what is witty but what is true.

In the last few years the very idea of telling the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth is dredged up only as a final resort when the alternative options of deception threat and bribery have all been exhausted.

For my part whatever anguish of spirit it may cost I am willing to know the whole truth to know the worst and provide for it.

Although filmmaking is collaborative and involves trust ultimately it is the director who holds the whole picture together in their head.

Well the whole story is in the book but the short answer is that I was the first information architect in an organization that was traditionally design-oriented and I felt I needed a tool to help me gain the trust and support of my colleagues.

If you have three people in your life that you can trust you can consider yourself the luckiest person in the whole world.

I think there is a break down of trust generally between people and politicians. I think that's come about for a whole variety of reasons.

It's a very brave thing to fall in love. You have to be willing to trust somebody else with your whole being and that's very difficult really difficult and very brave.

A half truth like half a brick is always more forcible as an argument than a whole one. It carries better.

I have a character failing. I am quite incapable of identifying with anything whole-heartedly. Whatever I am doing I am always planning to do something else. I would rather travel than arrive.

As far as 'Twilight' goes I'm in love with my character. I'm in love with the whole series. I love doing the fan conventions around the world I love to travel. So wherever it fits in I'd love to continue doing that for the rest of my life. Just meeting the fans who made everything possible from around the world.

I grew up in South Africa and I would look at maps and we were at the bottom of the world. There was this whole thing up there. I was always reading encyclopedias about the world. So travel was something I was always attracted to.

I travel around the world constantly promoting my projects and endorsing products. Yes I do get paid to go to parties in fact I'm the person who started the whole trend of paid appearances. But when you see me at a party I'm always working or promoting something.

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land.

Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas for next summer for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.
