War is death. If we are to engage in war, then we should have to stare it straight in the face and call it by its rightful name.

War is the greatest failure of mankind.

I want to tell you what it was really like to think death is imminent, but I can't. It's a taste in your mouth. And an emptiness.

Make your work deeper and better than those before you, and eventually someone will notice. If you don't think the work is better than what you've seen, then go back until it is.

My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning.

I don't want to do stories that don't have a heart. I'm just not going to be satisfied with stories where I can't be passionate about the subject, where I can't make a difference.
