About This Quote

Today there were fear, hatred, and pain, but no dignity of emotion, no deep or complex sorrows. Today there were shallow emotions, no complex or deep sorrows. Today there was no hope that the future would be better than the past. Today there was no faith in the future of mankind.

Today man was broken, beaten down by the horror of war. Today man had lost his faith in himself and in his fellow men.
