Sharing a small, amusing quote this time xD

Title: Hornet Flight
Author: Ken Follett

A conversation between Winston Churchill and one of his men after Hitler launched his Russian campaign.

"What are you going to do?"

"I shall go on the BBC tonight at nine."

"And say...?"

"That we must give whatever help we can to Russia and the Russian people."

Digby raised his eyebrows. "A hard thing for a passionate anti-Communist to propose."

"My dear Hoare, if Hitler invaded Hell, I would at least make a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons."
