[Excerpt
from A Farewell to Arms]
If people bring so
much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so
of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many
are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills.
It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave
impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you
too but there will be no special hurry.
--Ernest
Hemingway
