Famous quotes containing the word soldiers:

    “... children do not take war seriously as war. War is soldiers and soldiers have not to be war but they have to be soldiers. Which is a nice thing.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “Soldiers of the ploughshare as well as soldiers of the sword.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “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)
