Anna Harrington Quotes

“When you're in the military, you have a sense of purpose, of a larger fight so much bigger than yourself and whatever regiment or battle you've been placed in....Every day, you wake up knowing that you are fighting for morality and liberty, for a cause so good and right that it seems it can't be anything but divinely guided....You work hard all day to move just a tiny sliver closer to the end, and when your head hits your pillow at night, you can sleep well knowing that day to support your men and the cause you're fighting for.”
― Anna Harrington, An Inconvenient Duke

“What was it like, she asked...being in the army? What was it truly like?
Truly?...Freezing cold when it wasn't boiling hot or pouring rain. Loud when it wasn't unbearably silent. Usually uncomfortable. Always filthy. Long stretches of boredom broken by by moments of sheer terror.”
― Anna Harrington, An Inconvenient Duke
