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
A teardrop on earth summons the King of heaven...It's about not going to the well all the time...Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature...Going to the woods is going home...If I had my will I would live in a ship on the sea...Force overcome by force...
