Text Quotes
At times he regarded the wounded soldiers in an envious way. He conceived persons with torn bodies to be peculiarly happy. He wished that he, too, had a wound, a red badge of courage  (Stephen Crane Quotes) He had been to touch the great death, and found that, after all, it was but the great death. He was a man  (Stephen Crane Quotes) If there is a witness to my little life, To my tiny throes and struggles, He sees a fool; and it is not fine for gods to menace fools  (Stephen Crane Quotes) Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind. Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky and the affrighted steed ran on alone, Do not weep. War is kind  (Stephen Crane Quotes) A man said to the universe: Sir I exist! However, replied the universe, the fact has not created in me a sense of obligation  (Stephen Crane Quotes) Tradition, thou art for suckling children, thou art the enlivening milk for babes, but no meat for men is in thee  (Stephen Crane Quotes) If I should cast off this tattered coat, and go free into the mighty sky; if I should find nothing there But a vast blue, echoless, ignorant - what then?  (Stephen Crane Quotes) A man feared that he might find an assassin; another that he might find a victim. One was wiser than the other  (Stephen Crane Quotes) In the swirling rain that came at dusk the broad avenue glistened with that deep bluish tint which is so widely condemned when it is put into pictures  (Stephen Crane Quotes) One viewed the existence of man then as a marvel, and conceded a glamour of wonder to these lice which were caused to cling to a whirling, fire - smote, ice - locked, disease - stricken, space - lost bulb  (Stephen Crane Quotes) The word is clear only to the kind who on peak or plain, from dark northern ice - fields to the hot wet jungles, through all wine and want, through lies and unfamiliar truth, dark or light, are governed by the unknown gods, and though each man knows the law, no man may give tongue to it  (Stephen Crane Quotes) It was not well to drive men into final corners; at those moments they could all develop teeth and claws  (Stephen Crane Quotes) He saw that it was an ironical thing for him to be running thus toward that which he had been at such pains to avoid  (Stephen Crane Quotes) A serious prophet upon predicting a flood should be the first man to climb a tree. This would demonstrate that he was indeed a seer  (Stephen Crane Quotes) A man feared that he might find an assassin; Another that he might find a victim. One was more wise than the other  (Stephen Crane Quotes) He vaguely desired to walk around and around the body and stare; the impulse of the living to try to read in dead eyes the answer to the question  (Stephen Crane Quotes) As the landscape changed from brown to green, the army awakened, and began to tremble with eagerness at the noise of rumors  (Stephen Crane Quotes) But he said, in substance, to himself that if the Earth and Moon were about to clash, many persons would doubtless plan to get upon the roofs to witness the collision  (Stephen Crane Quotes) Tell her this and more, - that the king of the seas weeps too, old, helpless man. The bustling fates heap his hands with corpses until he stands like a child with surplus of toys  (Stephen Crane Quotes) It appeared that the swift wings of their desires would have shattered against the iron gates of the impossible  (Stephen Crane Quotes) And it was as if fate had betrayed the soldier. In death it exposed to his enemies that poverty which in life he had perhaps concealed from his friends  (Stephen Crane Quotes) He turned now with a lover's thirst to images of tranquil skies, fresh meadows, cool brooks - an existence of soft and eternal peace  (Stephen Crane Quotes) But he instantly saw that it would be impossible for him to escape from the regiment. It inclosed him. And there were iron laws of tradition and law on four sides. He was in a moving box  (Stephen Crane Quotes)
