I believe in large families: every woman should have at least three husbands.
It was a weak spot in any nation to have a large body of disaffected people within its confusion.
The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the universe, or part thereof. For that is a rather large model to work from.
War is not only a matter of equipment, artillery, group troops or air force; it is largely a matter of spirit, or morale.
