More From George S. Patton

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn. and with them, all is reborn, the flower of the apple tree, the light of the stars. in life is death. in death is rebirth. what then is life without death? life unchanging, everlasting, eternal?-what is it but death-death without rebirth?

By 'coming to terms with life' i mean: the reality of death has become a definite part of my life; my life has, so to speak, been extended by death, by my looking death in the eye and accepting it, by accepting destruction as part of life and no longer wasting my energies on fear of death or the refusal to acknowledge its inevitability. it sounds paradoxical: by excluding death from our life we cannot live a full life, and by admitting death into our life we enlarge and enrich it.

Life in the country teaches one that the really stimulating things are the quiet, natural things, and the really wearisome things are the noisy, unnatural things. it is more exciting to stand still than to dance. silence is more eloquent than speech. water is more stimulating than wine. fresh air is more intoxicating than cigarette smoke. sunlight is more subtle than electric light. the scent of grass is more luxurious than the most expensive perfume. the slow, simple observations of the peasant are more wise than the most sparkling epigrams of the latest wit.
Life Wise Country
I think i’m greedy, but i’m not greedy for money – i think that can be a burden – i’m greedy for an exciting life. i want it to be exciting all the time, and i get it, actually. on the other hand, i can find excitement, i admit, in raindrops falling on a puddle and a lot of people wouldn’t. i intend to have it exciting until the day i fall over.

There is no reason why the profoundest thoughts should not make easy and exciting reading. a profound thought is an exciting thing as exciting as a detective's deductions or hunches. the simpler the words in which a thought is expressed the more stimulating its effect.

It was on the corner of the street that he noticed the first sign of something peculiar - a cat reading a map.

If i were reading a book and happened to strike a wonderful passage i would close the book then and there and go for a walk. i hated the thought of coming to the end of a good book. i would tease it along, delay the inevitable as long as possible, but always, when i hit a great passage, i would stop reading immediately. out i would go, rain, hail, snow or ice, and chew the cud.
