Winner Quotes - Page 6

• I must congratulate myself, in passing, for never having lost the ability to examine my conscience, never having lost the gift of finding myself wanting & defective. Why fear the criticism of others when you, yourself, are first out of the critical gate? If self-denigration is the race I am the winner, even before the starting gun. Collect the bets.

• Las guerras hacen que la historia parezca engañosamente sencilla. Proporcionan puntos de inflexión claros, distinciones fáciles: antes y después, ganador y perdedor, bien y mal. La verdadera historia, el pasado, no es así. No es plana ni lineal. No tiene contorno. Es resbaladiza, como el líquido; infinita e incognoscible, como el espacio. Y es cambiante: justo cuando crees ver un patrón, la perspectiva cambia, se ofrece una versión alternativa, resurge un recuerdo olvidado hace tiempo.
