"She gave me a pain in the ass, but she was very good looking."
Desire
"I don't know what good it is to know so much and be smart as whips and all if it doesn't make you happy."
Fulfillment

Silence
"I am a dash man and not a miler, and it is probable that I will never write a novel. So far the novels of this war have had too much of the strength, maturity and craftsmanship critics are looking for, and too little of the glorious imperfections which teeter and fall off the best minds. The men who have been in this war deserve some sort of trembling melody rendered without embarrassment or regret. I'll watch for that book."
