Navedki
uredi- Vsi smo prestrašeni. Ti se skrivaš v tem jarku, ker misliš, da je še zmeraj upanje. Toda, Blithe, edino upanje, ki ga imaš, je da sprejmeš dejstvo, da si že mrtev. In prej, ko to sprejmeš, prej boš lahko deloval kot vojak, ki deluje. Brez usmiljenja. Brez sočutja. Brez kesanja. Vsa vojna temelji na tem.
We're all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there's still hope. But Blithe, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function. Without mercy. Without compassion. Without remorse. All war depends on it.
