Pat Barker
“A society that devours its own young deserves no automatic or unquestioning allegiance.”
Pat Barker, Regeneration

Edlef Köppen
“Schnellfeuer": Die Menschen versuchen einander zuweilen etwas zuzurufen. Nach kurzem ist jeder Versuch verstummt. Bricht der Versuch neu auf, wird aus jedem Zuruf ein tierischer Schrei.
"Schnellfeuer": Die Wut der Menschen überträgt sich auf die Geschütze. Sechs metallene kalte Rohre geben mit Sachlichkeit sechsmal in sechzig Sekunden den Tod von sich.”
Edlef Köppen, Heeresbericht
