“Don't write about Man; write about a man.”
“You don't write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid's burnt socks lying in the road.”
“If pens doubled as bullets, I bet few writers would want to write about war.”
“War is hell, but that's not the half of it, because war is also mystery and terror and adventure and courage and discovery and holiness and pity and despair and longing and love. War is nasty; war is fun. War is thrilling; war is drudgery. War makes you a man; war makes you dead.”
“Courage isn't just about being brave. It's about overcoming fear and daring to do what is right for your fellow man.”
