Eduardo Galeano
If I take a man into battle, my lord, i like to offer him a better than even chance that he'll march away with his skin intact. If I wanted to kill the buggers I'd just strangle them in their sleep. It's kinder.
Bernard Cornwell

Sharpe had woken in the morning with his hair frozen to the ground, had woken with his clothes sopping wet, but he had never wanted a tent! He was an infantryman.

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar: Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
If the afterlife really is a big war,” Kaladin said, "then I hope I end up in Damnation. At least there I might be able to get a wink or two of sleep.
