Deep Down I Know I Could Never

In The Book Soldiers On The Home Front, I Was Greatly Struck By The Fact That In Childbirth Alone, Women Commonly Suffer More Pain, Illness And Misery Than Any War Hero Ever Does. An What's Her Reward For Enduring All That Pain? She Gets Pushed Aside When She's Disfigured By Birth, Her Children Soon Leave, Hear Beauty Is Gone. Women, Who Struggle And Suffer Pain To Ensure The Continuation Of The Human Race, Make Much Tougher And More Courageous Soldiers Than All Those Big-mouthed Freedom-fighting Heroes Put Together.

Up Till Now I Always Thought Bickering Was Just Something Children Did And They Outgrew It. Of Course, There's Sometimes A Reason To Have A 'real' Quarrel, But The Verbal Exchanges That Take Place Here Are Just Plain Bickering. I Should Be Used To The Fact That These Squabbles Are Daily Occurrences, But I'm Not And Never Will Be As Long As I'm The Subject Of Nearly Every Discussion. (they Refer To These As 'discussions Instead Of 'quarrels', But Germans Don't Know The Difference!)

As Long As You're In The Food Business, Why Not Make Sweets?

I Can't Let Them See My Doubts, Or The Wounds They've Inflicted On Me.

You Can Always Give Something, Even If It Is Only Kindness.
