“Length of service: one year or duration of war. Duration of war, of course. He didn't want to spend a whole year in the army.”
“A life of short duration...could be so rich in joy and love that it could contain more meaning than a life lasting eighty years.”
“For every year of peace there have been four hundred years of war.”
“It takes thousands of bullets to kill an army but one to end a war.”
“Love cannot be measured by its duration...”
“Perhaps wars weren't won anymore. Maybe they went on forever. Maybe it was another Hundred Years' War.”
