“The moral sense of the importance of human life; the humane desire to lighten a little of the torments of all these poor wretches, or restote their shattered courage; the furious and relentless activity which a man summons up at such moments; all these combine to create a kind of energy which gies one a positive craving to relieve as many as one can.

There is no more grieving at the multiple scences of this fearful and solemn tragedy.”
Henry Dunant, A Memory of Solferino

“sebuah bangsa tidak akan kehilangan sosok pemimpin selama pemudanya sering bertualang di hutan,gunung, dan lautan.”
Henry Dunant

“But the women of Castiglione, seeing that I mad no distinction between nationalities, followed my example, showing the same kindness to these men whose origins were so different, and all of whom were foreigners to them. 'Tutti fratelli,' they repeated feelingly. All honour to these women, to these girls of Castiglione! Imperturbable, unwearying, unfaltering, their quiet self-sacrifice made little of fatigue and horrors, and of their own devotion.”
Henry Dunant, A Memory of Solferino
