Spring and summer frosts may be expected... This endangerment of the food supplies... appears to be likely enough that it should affect the war plans...

Our lives are so important to us that we tend to think the story of them begins with our birth. First there was nothing, then I was born...Yet that is not so.

Impossible to understand one part without having a sense of the whole. - Vida Winter
