“People of various parts of France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Poland, the USSR, and other places, were living among the ruins in the best way that they could. Because I was alone and homeless as well as confused, I opted to join the French Foreign Legion. When I was in the Wehrmacht, I thought that their discipline was extreme. However, it was nothing when compared to the discipline as practised by the Foreign Legion!”

(A Gracious Enemy & After the War Volume Two)”

“A silent breeze swept away a moment, one that never can be recaptured, never can it be relived. So it is for us to cherish the  moments, cherish them with all of our might. For just as an eagle in flight, they are transient, soon vanishing like the moon as day return the light.”
― Sherman Kennon, Whisk Of Dust: Too Unseen Distance

“هجرتُ البعض طوعاً لِأنني
رأيتُ قلوبهم تهوى فِراقي
نعمْ أشتاق ، لكن وضعتُ
كرامتي فوق إشتياقيّ
وأرغبْ وصلهمْ دوماً ولكن
طريقُ الذل لا تهواهُ ساقيّ”

“Love is something that comes in different clothes, with a different way and different face, and perhaps it takes a long time for you to accept it, to be able to call it love.”
― John Fowles, The Collector
