“Two things are important. Nothing lasted with us no matter how well intended and they ski much better now than they did in our time. Nobody has to climb on seal skins anymore unless they want to but they are beautifully instructed now and are better in everything. People break their legs and in the world some people still break their hearts. They come down faster and they drop like birds that know many secrets. They have no time to tell their secrets as they pass. Everyone knows many secrets now and everyone has written everything and will write more. It would be fine if it could all be true but lacking that I have attempted in this fiction only to make it interesting. Nobody was invulnerable but we thought we were then and hearing someone’s voice over the telephone you know they still are and they deserve it.”
— Ernest Hemingway
