“The din of the massed artillery behind us, the continuous crash of exploding shells before us, great shoots of fire and shot in the air above us, the rattle of machine guns in the German line, the bursting of shrapnel shells from the German guns; flashes of flame that seemed to swoop from the air as a hawk on its prey and obliterate the men on whom they descended - it was through this kind of thing that we moved forward, across that desolate waste of mud and water and shell holes - nothing else”

Neville Hind 1st LancashireFusiliers. 1917

This must have been written by ‘Nick’ whilst recovering from the sniper wound which ‘saved’ him at Passchendaele. I certainly regarded the old man in a different light after reading this.

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

Re: Quotations

Just came across this one.
“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’ But, conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.”
Martin Luther King
