“THE FIGHTING IN THE PEACH ORCHARD AT GETTYSBURGPROLOGUE"The same young men who crowded each other as they faced the recruiters' tables now crowded each other as they died.”
“The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other - instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals. ”
“in crowded rooms they would form words with their lips for each other's eyes”
“We fall. All casualties of the war, Because we cannot hear each other speak,Because eyes have ceased to see the face from the crowd.”
“The ones who fight each other because of their own beliefs are like specks of dirt fighting each other about the nature of their world, refusing to see that they are all in the same mud puddle on the side of the road.”
“For a split second they stared at each other. A fleeting, lasting moment. One person noticing another person out of a whole crowd of strangers.”
