James Jones

Citas

• “When he finished packing, he walked out on to the third-floor porch of the barracks brushing the dust from his hands, a very neat and deceptively slim young man in the summer khakis that were still early morning fresh.”

• “The expression of hurt surprise and wounded reproach and sheer inability to understand stayed on his face like a forgotten suitcase left at the station, and gradually hardened there.”

• “There’s only a thin red line between the sane and the mad.”

• “Humor itself is a kind strange thing in the first place, it’s kind of a short-circuit in the brain around horror that saves us from having to face it totally.”

• “Sometimes the air is awfully clear here. You can look off to sea and see the soft, warm, raggedy roof of clouds stretching on and on and on.”
