Enoch Powell
Citations
“[...] the thought struck me for the first time today that our duty to our country may not terminate with the peace — apart, I mean, from the duty of begetting children to bear arms for the King in the next generation. To be more explicit, I see growing on the horizon the greater peril than Germany or Japan ever were; and if the present hostilities do not actually merge into a war with our terrible enemy, America, it will remain for those of us who have the necessary knowledge and insight to do what we can where we can to help Britain be victorious again in her next crisis.
— Enoch Powell, Letter to his parents, February 16, 1943
