1914

“Thoughts and pictures come to my mind, .\xa0.\xa0. thoughts from before the year 1914 when there was real peace, quiet and security on this earth—a time when we didn’t know fear. .\xa0.\xa0. Security and quiet have disappeared from the lives of men since 1914.”

“Since 1914 the world has had a new character: a character of international anarchy.”

“Everything would get better and better. This was the world I was born in. . . . Suddenly, unexpectedly, one morning in 1914 the whole thing came to an end.”
