[Christopher:] You cannot conceive of the quantity of explosives the armies throw at each other for each man killed! The shells make a continuous noise, sometimes like an enormous machine breaking apart.

I don't want to suffer any more, I have had my mind broken open over and over before, I have been isolate and loveless always.
