Siegfried Sassoon

In me the tiger sniffs the rose.

Soldiers are citizens of death's grey land, drawing no dividend from time's tomorrows.

I have seen and endured the sufferings of the troops, and I can no longer be a party to prolong these sufferings for ends which I believe to be evil and unjust.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'

Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others, they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother?

I boxed in Golden Gloves at Oxford and still know how to throw a straight left jab.
