{{quote|''"Up at the front you're alive or you're dead, and that's all! You can't fool anybody about that very long. Up there we know we're lost and done for whether we're dead or alive. Three years we've had of it... four years. Every day a year and every night a century. Our bodies are earth and our thoughts are clay, and we sleep and eat with death."''|'''Paul Bäumer''', |''[[All Quiet On the Western Front (Literature)|All Quiet Onon the Western Front]]'' (film)}}

{{quote|''"This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war."''|''[[All Quiet On the Western Front (Literature)|All Quiet Onon the Western Front]]'' (epigraph)}}

{{quote|''"There was a little girl. Maybe, eight years old? I dunno. She'd lost both her legs. Just kept staring at them. Little stumps, cauterized by fire somehow.

''They didn't mind. None of them. They were all in black bags."''|'''Anonymous GDI medical worker''', ''[[Tiberium Wars (Fanfic)|Tiberium Wars]]'' }}

{{quote|''"We forge futures out of pain and grief, Commander. The computers and the communications officers and the [[EV As]]EVAs and the displays only serve to isolate us so we can be inhuman. We're monsters, son. Cold, mechanical, rational monsters, and the only way we win is by being colder, more mechanical, and more rational than the next monster moving his little pieces on the screen. That's how war has been fought since Stalin rolled into the Allies a century ago. You point, you click, and they die. It's how it works."'' |'''Colonel Nick Parker''', |''[[Tiberium Wars (Fanfic)|Tiberium Wars]]'' "Chapter XVIII" }}

''Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,–<br />''

''My friend, you would not tell with such high zest<br />''

''To children ardent for some desperate glory,<br />''

''The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est<br />''

''Pro patria mori."''<ref>Lat:"It is sweet and honourable to die for one's country"</ref>|'''Wilfred Owen''', ''Dulce Et Decorum Est''}}
