"Dia tahu bagaimana menangani rasa sakit. Anda harus berbaring dengan kesakitan, bukan menarik diri darinya. Anda membiarkan diri Anda semacam bergerak di sekitar tepi luar rasa sakit seperti dengan air dingin sampai Anda akhirnya berani mengambil kendali. Kemudian Anda mengambil napas dalam-dalam dan terjun ke dalam dan membiarkan diri Anda tenggelam dengan jelas ke bawah. Dan setelah Anda merasakan sakit yang dalam beberapa saat, Anda menemukan bahwa seperti dengan air dingin, rasanya tidak sedingin yang Anda kira ketika otot-otot Anda meringkuk menjauhi tepi luar ketika Anda bergerak mengitarinya untuk mendapatkan meningkatkan keberanian Anda. Dia tahu sakit."

--- James Jones

Versi Bahasa Inggris

He knew how to handle pain. You had to lie down with pain, not draw back away from it. You let yourself sort of move around the outside edge of pain like with cold water until you finally got up your nerve to take yourself in hand. Then you took a deep breath and dove in and let yourself sink down it clear to the bottom. And after you had been down inside pain a while you found that like with cold water it was not nearly as cold as you had thought it was when your muscles were cringing themselves away from the outside edge of it as you moved around it trying to get up your nerve. He knew pain.
