Kemal Tahir
“- Tamam! Alman'la birlik olup savaşa girmişiz kardaşlar!
- Girelim ya, geç bile kaldık. Rezilliğe alıştık bi kez! Bir rüzgâr da budur, gelir geçer.
- Hemen geçmesin yahu! Balkan'ın öcünü Bulgar'dan alıverelim de sonra...
- Höst! Senin dünyadan haberin yok! Biz bu kez Bulgar'la birliğiz. 'Can yoldaşı', 'silah arkadaşı' diyelim de aklın yatsın!
-İşte buna şaştım! Gebe karıların karnını deşip, körpe çocukları süngüye takan, câmilere çanlar asan Bulgar gavuruyla, he mi?
- Enver Paşa, 'Önce Sırplıyı aradan çıkaralım da Bulgarların hesabı sonra görülür' diyesiymiş...
- Ne akıl yahu! Ulan aferin Enver Paşa! İngiliz'den Mısır'ı Yunan'dan da Girit'i alacak mıymış?
-Mısır, Girit kaç para? Rus'tan Kırım'ı Kafkasya'yı almadan almadan kılıcı kınına sokmak yok...
-Oh ağzını öpeyim. Gene ballar akıttın. Ama Alman erkekse, bize o zırhlı toplardan bir iki vermeli...
-Hey şaşkın, top ne demek! Herif bize iki gemi vermiş ki dünyada eşi yokmuş...
-Yalana bak!
- Vallah... Gemi vermeseydi, bizim bu savaşta işimiz neydi? Biz bu gemilerin hatırına girmekteyiz! Bunlar savaş patladığı sırada bize yakın bir denizdeymişler. İngiliz bunları sıkıştırmış! Bunlar kaçar, İngiliz'in donanması kovalar. Sonunda Alman gemileri bakmışlar ki kurtuluş yok, bizim Çanakkale Boğazı'na dayanmışlar da yol istemişler. Enver Paşa onlara yol vermiş, arkasını kovalayan İngiliz gemilerine de basmış gülleyi...
-Hele arslana hele! Hey ömrüne bereket! Öyleyse dur sen, ben işi anladım! Alman yeni toplardan bize gizliden vermiş ki bizimkiler İngiliz'i topa tutmuşlar, yoksa n'ağzımızaydı bacanak?
-Artık orasını bilmem. Gemiler şimdi bizde... İngiliz bize çok yalvarmış. Ben ettim, sen etme! Benim benim bu amansız sıramda düşmanıma arka çıkma!' diyerekten...
- Önce gerekti domuuuz! Ismarladığımız Reşadiye gemimizle Sultan Osman gemimizin üstüne oturur musun?”
Kemal Tahir, Köyün Kamburu

“The consequences of the 1918 armistice that became the 1919 Treaty of Versailles slammed into the last century like a hurricane making landfall at high tide, pushing ever more violent waters up the rivers of history, transforming streams into raging cataracts and covering the global landscape with an ever-rising flood. Looking back over the last hundred years and seeing the fervent desire for war and the sadistic means in which armies murdered their way to bitter victory, we have to grimly conclude that the Great War never ended.
The nightmare continued.”
W. Scott Poole, Wasteland: The Great War and the Origins of Modern Horror
