“This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war.”
― Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front

“Minie balls and repeating rifles. That was why the body count was so high. We had trench warfare in America way before WW1. p128”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“Honk if you love Jesus, text while driving if you want to meet up.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, Flight Behavior

“I remember a story I read once, a soldier, was it at Shiloh? He was talking to me but not with his whole attention. Gettysburg? a soldier so mad with shock that he started burying birds and squirrels on the battlefield. You had lot of little things killed too, in the crossfire, little animals. Many tiny graves. p128”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
