![It was in Spain that [my generation] learned that one can be right and yet be beaten, that force can vanquish spirit, that there are times when courage is not its own recompense. It is this, doubtless, which explains why so many, the world over, feel the Spanish drama as a personal tragedy.](/assets/img/quote-photos/it-was-in-spain-that-my-generation-learned-that-one-can-be-right-and-yet-be-bea.jpg)

But because he had lived so fully and devotedly he won through to the Resurrection body. Carl Jung
