“All my life I've been aware of the Second World War humming in the background. I was born 10 years after it was finished, and without ever seeing it. It formed my generation and the world we lived in. I played Hurricanes and Spitfires in the playground, and war films still form the basis of all my moral philosophy. All the men I've ever got to my feet for or called sir had been in the war.”
“He (Jeremy Clarkson) is the last man standing on the beach commanding the glaciers' melt waters to go back”
“Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose, But young men think it is, and we were young.”

Source : More Poems (1936) no. 36
