Quote
1
[referring to his imprisonment in Changi Prison, a Japanese Prisoner of War Camp, during World War II] If all your generation - everyone you knew - died when they were nineteen or twenty, you've got the biggest present in the world. You live from day to day thinking "My God, I should have died when I was nineteen and I'm eighty-five now". How many presents can one have in one's life? Every day is a present.
