bilfy 's review for:
Johnny Got His Gun
by Dalton Trumbo
LET THESE QUOTES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES:
"He was fighting too hard and he knew it. A man can't fight always. If he's drowning or suffocating he's got to be smart and hold back some of his strength for the last the final the death struggle." — pg. 50.
"... he was all mixed up again. He didn't know where he was or what he was doing. But he was cooling off. He wasn't burning up any more. He was just light headed and confused and he couldn't figure things out. Everything was a mess but at least he was cool." — pg. 77.
"He had to stop this. He had to stop things from fading away and then rushing back at him. He had to stop the smotherings and the sinkings and the risings. He had to stop the fear that made him want to yell and holler and laugh and claw himself to death..." — pg. 102.
"When you have so little left why should you care if part of it is dying? You lie back. The darkness changes to another shade of darkness. Starless twilight and starless night. Like at home." — pg. 111.
"You had plenty of time to think. You had time to figure things out. Things you'd never thought of before." — pg. 128.
"There's no word worth your life.... Nothing is bigger than life. There's nothing noble in death." — pg. 137.
"He understood insanity he knew all about it now." — pg. 192.
literally, dying, death, all in between, HOLY SHIT.
