Fritz Kreisler Quotes

Although I had resigned my commission as an officer two years before, I immediately left Switzerland, accompanied by my wife, in order to report for duty. As it happened, a wire reached me a day later calling me to the colors Picture Quote #1

Courage, energy and patience are the virtues which appeal to my heart Picture Quote #1

Genius is an overused word. The world has known only about a half dozen geniuses. I got only fairly near Picture Quote #1

Human nerves quickly get accustomed to the most unusual conditions and circumstances and I noticed that quite a number of men actually fell asleep from sheer exhaustion in the trenches, in spite of the roaring of the cannon about us and the whizzing of shrapnel over our heads Picture Quote #1

I saw a great many men die afterwards, some suffering horribly, but I do not recall any death that affected me quite so much as that of this first victim in my platoon Picture Quote #1

Life that only a few hours before had glowed with enthusiasm and exultation, suddenly paled and sickened Picture Quote #1

One gets into a strange psychological, almost hypnotic, state of mind while on the firing line which probably prevents the mind’s eye from observing and noticing things in a normal way Picture Quote #1

The moral effect of the thundering of one’s own artillery is most extraordinary, and many of us thought that we had never heard any more welcome sound than the deep roaring and crashing that started in at our rear Picture Quote #1

Signs of fatigue soon manifested themselves more and more strongly, and slowly the men dropped out one by one, from sheer exhaustion. No murmur of complaint, however, would be heard Picture Quote #1
