Fellow Soldiers

Famous quotes containing the words fellow and/or soldiers:

    While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.
    —Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961)

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