“This one isn’t just any old horse. There’s a nobility in his eye, a regal serenity about him. Does he not personify all that men try to be and never can be? I tell you, my friend, there’s divinity in a horse, and specially in a horse like this. God got it right the day he created them. And to find a horse like this in the middle of this filthy abomination of a war, is for me like finding a butterfly on a dung heap. We don’t belong in the same universe as a creature like this.” MenTryingDoeWarEyeUniverseMiddleCreaturesFindingsMy FriendsHorseHis EyesDivinityButterflySerenityNobilityFilthyAbominationRegal Author:Michael Morpurgo
“I tell you, my friends,’ he said one day. ‘I tell you that I am the only sane man in the regiment. It’s the others that are mad, but they don’t know it. They fight a war and they don’t know what for. Isn’t that crazy?

And it’s me they call mad!” KnowsMenDoeSaidDifferentWarReasonFightingSpeakLanguageCrazyOne DayMy FriendsMadReason WhyColourOne ManSaneUniformsDifferent LanguagesDifferent Colours Book:War Horse Source: War Horse
