“She added something about 'healing the wounded' being a good occupation for young women during wartime. Secretly, I wondered if it might not be a better occupation for young men; it might make them think before waging war.”

“He could order his books in a way he couldn't order his life.”
Ruth Druart, While Paris Slept

“She was like a butterfly not yet free from its cocoon, its beautiful wings still curled up. She was full of something he felt he'd lost. Hope. The thrill of living.”
Ruth Druart, While Paris Slept
