“Temporary madness makes it possible to forget the truth about bullets. Temporary madness, in war, is bravery's sister.
But when you seem crazy all the time, continuously, without stopping, that's when you make people afraid, even your war brothers. And that's when you stop being the brave one, the death-defier, and become instead the true friend of death, its accomplice, its more-than-brother.”

'Golly Ned.'
'That they walk among us. Teach our children. Inscrutable. Brass-faced.”
