Brothers Quote by Edna O'Brien

“My friends I tell you this, we are a jolly group but put us in uniform and all that change. In war I don’t know who my brother. In war I don’t know who my friend. War make everybody savage. Who can say what lies inside the heart of each one of us when everything is taken away.” quote by Edna O'Brien — Download Open image
