    10. In Italia vi sono oggi alcuni che si domandano se la Resistenza abbia avuto un reale impatto militare sul corso della guerra. Per la mia generazione la questione è irrilevante: comprendemmo immediatamente il significato morale e psicologico della Resistenza. Era motivo d’orgoglio sapere che noi europei non avevamo atteso la liberazione passivamente.

  11. Notes to Myself

    There are books like The Leopard that need to be read at least three times: when you are young and adventurous; when you are middle-aged and busy; and when you are old and reflective.

  12. Make Something Wonderful

    I grow little of the food I eat [...] . I do not make any of my own clothing. I speak a language I did not invent or refine. I did not discover the mathematics I use. I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive of or legislate, and do not enforce or adjudicate. I am moved by music I did not create myself. When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself survive. I did not invent the transistor, the microprocessor, object oriented programming, or most of the technology I work with. I love and admire my species, living and dead, and am totally dependent on them for my life and well being.

    At least one brand of toilet paper was also in perilously short supply, as the king himself discovered.

A packet or two of 500 sheets at intervals would be most acceptable. You will understand this and its name begins with B!!!”
