Never throw away the old at the sight of the new.
Zimbabwean proverb
And Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human.
So she was turned to a pillar of salt. So it goes.
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse Five
I have told my sons that they are not under any circumstances to take part in massacres, and that the news of massacres of enemies is not to fill them with satisfaction or glee.
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse Five
