Poetry Quote by James Jones — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“When compared to the fact that he might very well be dead by this time tomorrow, whether he was courageous or not today was pointless, empty. When compared to the fact that he might be dead tomorrow, everything was pointless. It just didn't make any difference. It was pointless to the tree, it was pointless to every man in his outfit, pointless to everybody in the whole world. Who cared? It was not pointless only to him; and when he was dead, when he ceased to exist, it would be pointless to him too. More important: Not only would it”

“I haven’t been very impressed lately.”

“she's got”

“someone's sent”

“Listen, children:”

“I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love”

“literature will lose, sunlight will win, don't worry.”
