I've read a lot of war writing, even World War I writing, the British war poetry of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves's memoir 'Goodbye to All That', and a civilian memoir, 'Testament of Youth', by Vera Brittain.
More quotes and aphorisms
Great woman belong to history and to self sacrifice...Will is to grace as the horse is to the rider...I'm not the kind of person who tries to be cool...Injuries may be forgiven...Giving is the most self-satisfying thing...You can't study the darkness by flooding it with light...
