Text Quotes
It was a night when London was ringed and stabbed with fire  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) It’s alright to have a good opinion of yourself, but we Americans are so smug with our cockiness, we somehow feel that just because we are Americans, we can whip our weight in wildcats.  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) Below us the Thames grew lighter, and all around below were the shadows - the dark shadows of buildings and bridges that formed the base of this dreadful masterpiece  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) All the rest of us - you and me and even the thousands of soldiers behind the lines in Africa - we want terribly yet only academically for the war to get over  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) If I can just see the European war out I think I might feel justified in quitting the war  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) War makes strange giant creatures out of us little routine men who inhabit the earth  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) If you go long enough without a bath, even the fleas will leave you alone  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) The front - line soldier wants it to be got over by the physical process of his destroying enough Germans to end it. He is truly at war. The rest of us, no matter how hard we work, are not  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) But to the fighting soldier that phase of the war is behind. It was left behind after his first battle. His blood is up. He is fighting for his life, and killing now for him is as much a profession as writing is for me  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) The American soldier is quick in adapting himself to a new mode of living. Outfits which have been here only three days have dug vast networks of ditches three feet deep in the bare brown Earth. They have rigged up a light here and there with a storage battery  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) The front-line soldier wants it to be got over by the physical process of his destroying enough Germans to end it. He is truly at war. The rest of us, no matter how hard we work, are not  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) I’ve been immersed in it too long. My spirit is wobbly and my mind is confused. The hurt has become too great.  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) In their eyes as they pass is not hatred, not excitement, not despair, not the tonic of their victory - there is just the simple expression of being here as though they had been here doing this forever, and nothing else.  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) The closest fires were near enough for us to hear the crackling flames and the yells of firemen. Little fires grew into big ones even as we watched. Big ones died down under the firemen’s valor only to break out again later.  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) Below us the Thames grew lighter, and all around below were the shadows - the dark shadows of buildings and bridges that formed the base of this dreadful masterpiece.  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) There is no sense in the struggle, but there is no choice but to struggle  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) If you go long enough without a bath, even the fleas will let you alone  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) Swinging first and swinging to kill is all that matters now  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) Our artillery has really been sensational. For once we have enough of something and at the right time. Officers tell me they actually have more guns than they know what to do with  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) The men are walking. They are fifty feet apart, for dispersal. Their walk is slow, for they are dead weary, as you can tell even when looking at them from behind. Every line and sag of their bodies speaks their inhuman exhaustion  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) At last we are in it up to our necks, and everything is changed, even your outlook on life  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) Thoughts are wonderful things, that they can bring two people, so far apart, into harmony and understanding for even a little while  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) Some day I’d like to cover a war in a country as ugly as war itself  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) For me war has become a flat, black depression without highlights, a revulsion of the mind and an exhaustion of the spirit  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) Somebody said that carrier pilots were the best in the world, and they must be or there wouldn’t be any of them left alive  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) The closest fires were near enough for us to hear the crackling flames and the yells of firemen. Little fires grew into big ones even as we watched. Big ones died down under the firemen’s valor only to break out again later  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) I’ve really been sick with this cold, but I think I might have kept the columns going anyhow except I was just so low in spirit, I didn’t have the will to struggle against them when my deadline was so close and I felt so lousy  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) I’ve been immersed in it too long. My spirit is wobbly and my mind is confused. The hurt has become too great  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) About every two minutes a new wave of planes would be over. The motors seemed to grind rather than roar, and to have an angry pulsation like a bee buzzing in blind fury  (Ernie Pyle Quotes) I was away from the front lines for a while this spring, living with other troops, and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them  (Ernie Pyle Quotes)
