Quote by Gabriel Chevallier

“...a new force given to individual initiatives, a need to smash things up, to leap over fences, to break laws – all this, at the start, made the war acceptable. It was confused with freedom, and discipline was then accepted in the belief that it was lacking.”

“Darko Cvijetić: Previše mi to, osam djevojčica ​ Croatian (Original) ​Svatko bi trebao nositi kosti onoga koga je ubio. Do svoje smrti. To je odlična kazna. ​Većina ne bi nosila ništa, ali netko bi imao vreću kostiju, a netko se ne bi mogao pomaknuti, od težine svoje hrpe kostiju. I svi te vide. ​Jedan nosi tri vreće, jedan šatorsko krilo puno kostiju. Kad si mogao ubiti – sad nosaj, neka svi vide, i da se što prije umoriš. Da vidiš kako je tuđe kosti nositi. ​Da od kremiranih pepeo nosiš. Puno je pepela jedno strijeljanje, recimo. Da opako težak ruksak nosaš na leđima, sve dok se i ti ne zagrobiš u zemlji. ​Darko Cvijetić: It's Too Much for Me, Eight Little Girls ​Everyone should carry the bones of those they killed. Until their death. That is a perfect punishment. ​Most would carry nothing, but someone would have a bag of bones, and someone wouldn't be able to move from the weight of their heap of bones. And everyone sees you. ​One carries three bags, another a tent sheet full of bones. If you were able to kill—now you carry them, let everyone see, and may you grow tired as soon as possible. So you see what it’s like to carry someone else's bones. ​To carry the ashes of the cremated. An execution, for example, is a lot of ash. To carry a wickedly heavy backpack on your back until you too are buried in the earth.”
