"Dictatorship is like a giant beech-tree - very magnificent to look at in its prime, but nothing grows underneath it."
"I would rather trust a woman's instinct than a man's reason."
"I think it is well . . . for the man in the street to realise there is no power on earth that can protect him from bombing, whatever people may tell him. The bomber will always get through. The only defence is in offence, which means that you have to kill more women and children more quickly than the enemy if you want to save yourselves."
"The intelligent are to the intelligentsia what a gentleman is to a gent."
"I would rather be an opportunist and float than go to the bottom with my principles around my neck."
