El Lord Canciller es escocés [el vizconde Finlay]; también lo son el Ministro de Hacienda y el Ministro de Asuntos Exteriores [Bonar Law y Arthur Balfour]. El Primer Ministro es galés [David Lloyd George], y el Primer Lord del Almirantazgo es irlandés [Lord Carson]. Sin embargo, ¡nadie ha presentado nunca un proyecto de ley para conceder la autonomía a Inglaterra!

• It's like guerrilla warfare. If you reveal your location, all it does is allow your opponent to improve his artillery bearings. It's better to move quietly, with stealth, under cover of night. You've got two choices: You can wear cammies and shimmy along on your belly, or you can put on a red coat and stand up for everyone to see. It comes down to whether you want to be the British army in the Revolutionary War or the Viet Cong. History tells us which tactic was more effective.

• In later years, it was common, and I was guilty in this respect, to question the motives of those who joined the new British armies at the outbreak of the Great War, but it must, in their honour and fairness to their memories, be said that they were motivated by the highest purpose, and died in their tens of thousands in Flanders and Gallipoli, believing that they were giving their lives in the cause of human liberty everywhere, including Ireland.

• The American and the British armies liberated camps, there wasn't a single order of the day: Let's go and liberate the camp. They stumbled upon the camps. Same thing with the Russians, I asked the Colonel who liberated Auschwitz, they didn't, there wasn't a priority. But I feel that that was a mistake, it was a sin because they could have saved so many people and they didn't.

• He loved telling stories. He had been everywhere in the world. The northwest frontier, the landscape of the Hindu Kush, was one of the great landscapes of my childhood because he used to evoke it with his stories. He taught me the sequence of ranks in the British army when I was about eight. I was in the bed with him while he told me everything about his life - except, probably, the real things, because of course you couldn't go there.

• ¿Y si todos esos extraños e inexplicables recodos de la historia fueran el resultado de una interferencia sobrenatural? En ese momento me pregunté: ¿cuál es el fenómeno histórico más extraño y excéntrico de todos? Respuesta: el Gran Imperio Británico. Está claro que una pequeña isla sólo pudo conquistar la mitad del mundo conocido con ayuda sobrenatural. Esos absurdos modales victorianos y esas modas ridículas fueron obviamente dictados por vampiros. Y, sin duda, el sistema de regimientos del ejército británico funciona con la dinámica de las manadas de hombres lobo.
