Michael Shaara Quotes

• I've been a soldier all my life. I've fought from the ranks on up, you know my service. But sir, I must tell you now, I believe this attack will fail. No 15,000 men ever made could take that ridge. It's a distance of more than a mile, over open ground. When the men come out of the trees, they will be under fire from Yankee artillery from all over the field. And those are Hancock's boys! And now, they have the stone wall like we did at Fredericksburg.

  Michael Shaara

  Wall, Distance, Believe

• Pickett excused himself, watchful of Longstreet. Pickett was always saying something to irritate somebody, and he rarely knew why, so his method was simply to apologize in general from time to time and let people know he meant well and then to shove off and hope for the best. He apologized and departed, curls ajiggle.

• A casa. Un lugar es igual a otro, en realidad. Puede que no. Pero la verdad es que todo es roca y tierra y la gente es más o menos igual. Nací allí, pero no soy un extraño aquí. Siempre me he sentido como en casa en todas partes, incluso en Virginia, donde me odian. Dondequiera que vayas no hay más que la misma roca y tierra y casas y gente y ciervos y pájaros. A todo le ponen nombres, pero en todas partes me siento como en casa. Cosa rara: antipatriota. Estaba en casa en Inglaterra. Estaría en casa en el desierto. En Afganistán o en el lejano Typee. Todo mío, todo me pertenece. Mi mundo.
