„So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.“
— George S. Patton
Context: So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me. And I see not in my blindness
What the objects were I wrought,
But as God rules o'er our bickerings
It was through His will I fought. So forever in the future,
Shall I battle as of yore,
Dying to be born a fighter,
But to die again, once more.
„So forever in the future,
Shall I battle as of yore,
Dying to be born a fighter,
But to die again, once more.“

„There is no proof nor yet any denial. We were, We are, and we will be.“
— George S. Patton
Context: I wonder if I could have been here before as I drive up the Roman road the Theater seems familiar — perhaps I headed a legion up that same white road... I passed a chateau in ruins which I possibly helped escalade in the middle ages. There is no proof nor yet any denial. We were, We are, and we will be.
