Life Quote by C.S. Lewis
““I know that’s how they talk. But if there’s a real war why don’t they do anything? Don’t you see that if the official version were true these chaps up here would attack and sweep the Town out of existence? They’ve got the strength. If they wanted to rescue us they could do it. But obviously the last thing they want is to end their so-called “war”. The whole game depends on keeping it going.””

![“It ought to be remembered by all [that] the Games more than 2,000 years ago started as a means of bringing peace between the Greek city-states. And in those days, even if a war was going on, they called off the war in order to hold the Games. I wish we were still as civilized.” quote by Ronald Reagan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/338/ronald-reagan-119_be-remembered-by_it-ought-to-be-remembered-by-all-that-th_1775008.jpg)
