More Capitulation Quotes
If during the wild rumors of 1914–17, the imagined treason of the tsarist court to the Germans had never been real, in 1918, the abject sellout to the Germans by the Bolsheviks was all too real.

That is the very strict line between compromise and capitulation. — Amos Oz

Both have capitulated to the world. Both have become lotus eaters and drifters. — Colin Wilson
