Ernest Hemingway: "For whom the Bell Tolls"

(photographs by robert capa)

"I guess really good soldiers are really good at very little else"

"No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a Clod be washed away by the Sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a Promontory were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." (John Donne)

"Was there ever a people whose leaders were as truly their enemies as this one?"

(somewhat true 80 years later...)
