“Non devo aver paura. La paura uccide la mente. La paura è la piccola morte che porta alla distruzione totale. Affronterò la mia paura. Farò che scivoli sopra di me, che passi attraverso me.

“To me an unnecessary action, or shot, or casualty, was not only waste but sin. I was unable to take the professional view that all successful actions were gains. Our rebels were not materials, like soldiers, but friends of ours, trusting our leadership. We were not in command nationally, but by invitation; and our men were volunteers, individuals, local men, relatives, so that a death was a personal sorrow to many in the army. Even from the purely military point of view the assault seemed to me a blunder.”
