No Man S Land Quotes

“Just like the forces of Good and Evil, on the levels so much distant from man, logic and reason clash with each other. In that merciless, multi-millennial and primal battle, none of them stepped away for an inch. In a craddle, like no man's land, we, the young human beings, find ourselves gazing upon the "toys that glitter". I wanted to believe.”

“It was no easy task advancing through No Man’s Land, especially without making a sound. Barbed wire was typically passed through dark paint to keep it from reflecting light and then loosely strung between spaced wooden posts to provide an effective high obstacle. Strung low and tight were alarm traps—wire attached to some noisemaker that alerted the guards to movement. Sometimes, the Americans made wire entanglements by wrapping barbed wire around a long, rectangular wood frame behind the lines. These could be quickly rolled out into No Man’s Land after an artillery barrage had cut a wide hole in the wire. The wire obstacles added to the chaotic and dangerous morass. Due to constant shelling, there was an irregular pattern of shell holes, thick mud, and the rotting remains of men and animals.”

“Er zijn vergeten plaatsen. Net zoals er vergeten mensen zijn. Op die plaatsen vind je degenen die al vergeten waren voordat iemand zich hen herinnerde. Daar vind je degenen die nooit beroemd werden, van wie niemand ooit gehoord heeft, van wist, degenen die achterbleven toen het leven doorging. Dat is het eigenlijke niemandsland. Daar zijn geen voormalige beroemdheden, daar zijn geen astronauten die alleen maar oud en vergeten zijn. Daar zijn alleen degenen van wie je in principe al dacht dat ze niet bestonden.”

“He remembered the feel of No Man's Land, the vast, unimaginable space. By day, seen through a periscope, this immensity shrank to a small, pock-marked stretch of ground, snarled with wire. You never got used to the discrepancy. Part of its power to compel the imagination lay precisely in that. It was the difference between seeing a mouth ulcer and probing it with your tongue.”
