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
The mind is not a vessel to be filled...To err is human, but to really foul things up...Everyone thinks of changing the world...Life comes down to honesty and doing what's right...Fasten your seatbelts...Start by doing what's necessary...
