Chris Gager Chris Gager said: " I've read a couple other Junger documentaries, and this one's in line with them: straightforward and brutal. I imagine I'm not the only reader who wonders WHY?????? Was all that Iraq/Afghanistan violence justified?

-Very reminiscent of Philip Caputo's

Chris Gager Chris Gager said: " Not the correct edition but close enough. My rescued edition is by A. L. Burt of New York with no date(s) given. Looks to be either late-19th or early 20th century. Pretty good condition. Well... this is a long one and won't be finished any time soon ...more "

William Shakespeare
“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
William Shakespeare, Macbeth

Emily Dickinson
“A little Madness in the Spring Is wholesome even for the King.”
Emily Dickinson

William Shakespeare
“Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
William Shakespeare, The Tempest

Herman Melville
“I would prefer not to.”
Herman Melville, Bartleby the Scrivener

Haruki Murakami
“Whatever it is you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting.”
Haruki Marukami
