man and boy

"my generation were luckier than we knew. We did not have a war waiting for us when we grew up. ... Our wives, that's who we fought with, this generation of men blessed with peace. And the divorce courts, that's where we fought our grubby little wars."... "Which was better? War and perfect love? Or peace and love which came in instalments of five, six, seven years? Who was the real lucky man??"
