Famous quotes containing the word soldiers:

    “According to U.S. strategy, if you never see the other, his destruction will be more acceptable ... so that when Iraqi soldiers surrendered, sooner than expected, it was as if they emerged from a dream, a flash-back, a lost epoch—an epoch when the enemy still had a body and was still “like us.””
    —Serge Daney (1944–1992)

    “How the Chimney-sweepers cry
    Every blackning Church appalls,
    And the hapless Soldiers sigh
    Runs in blood down Palace walls”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “Next year we shall be living in a country
    That brought its soldiers home for lack of money.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
