“When the sound of victorious guns burst over London at 11 a.m. on November 11th, 1918, the men and women who looked incredulously into each other's faces did not cry jubilantly: " We've won the war! " They only said: " The War is over.”

'Nothing,' I said. 'To stay alive.'

'That's all?'

'Yes.”
Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried
