Quote by Harry Browne

I'm old enough to remember the end of World War II. On Aug. 14, 1946, a year after the Japanese were defeated, most newspapers and magazines had single articles commemorating the end of the war.

I'm old enough to remember the end of World War II. On Aug.

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker is of an older generation and has firsthand recollections of the end of World War II. It highlights their awareness of the historical significance of the date, August 14, 1946, as it marks the one-year anniversary of Japan's defeat. The mention of newspapers and magazines dedicating only a single article to commemorate this event suggests that the significance of the end of the war may have been fading in the public consciousness at that time.

In my dream I know I am falling. But there is no up or down, no walls or sides or ceilings, just the sensation of cold and darkness everywhere. I am so scared I could scream. But when I open my mouth, nothing happens. And I wonder if you fall forever and never touch down, is it really still falling? I think I will fall forever.

I've seen a lot of patriots and they all died just like anybody else if it hurt bad enough and once they were dead their patriotism was only good for legends; it was bad for their prose and made them write bad poetry. If you are going to be a great patriot i.e. loyal to any existing order of government (not one who wishes to destroy the existing for something better) you want to be killed early if your life and works won't stink.
