War continues to divide people to change them forever and I write about it both because I want people to understand the absolute futility of war the 'pity of war' as Wilfred Owen called it.

I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can only as one who has seen its brutality its futility its stupidity.

Anything that won't sell I don't want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility and utility is success.

Ah the power of two. There's nothing quite like it. Especially when it comes to paying utility bills parenting cooking elaborate meals purchasing a grown-up bed jumping rope and lifting heavy machinery. The world favours pairs. Who wants to waste the wood building an ark for singletons?

What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz blues country music and so forth. I do them all like a good utility man.

Love consists in giving without getting in return in giving what is not owed what is not due the other. That's why true love is never based as associations for utility or pleasure are on a fair exchange.

To remove this obstacle I repeat or refer to such knowledge as has come under my notice my own previously expressed views and also describe and exhibit my last experiments and explain their novelty and utility.

Nothing leads so straight to futility as literary ambitions without systematic knowledge.

Dusting is a good example of the futility of trying to put things right. As soon as you dust the fact of your next dusting has already been established.

Fascism the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.
