"Panggilan mendengarkan dengan geli - bukan karena insiden itu tidak mengerikan. Memenggal kepala adalah nasib buruk, apakah Anda seorang Yankee atau bukan. Tapi kemudian, hal-hal lucu terjadi dalam pertempuran, seperti yang mereka lakukan di sisa hidup. Beberapa hal terlucu yang pernah dia saksikan terjadi selama pertempuran. Dia selalu merasa lebih menyenangkan untuk tertawa di medan perang daripada di tempat lain, karena jika Anda hidup untuk tertawa di medan perang, Anda bisa merasa telah menerima tawa itu. Tetapi jika Anda hanya tertawa di salon, atau di acara sosial, tawa itu tidak mencapai kedalaman."

--- Larry McMurtry

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Call listened with amusement--not that the incident hadn't been terrible. Being decapitated was a grisly fate, whether you were a Yankee or not. But then, amusing things happened in battle, as they did in the rest of life. Some of the funniest things he had ever witnessed had occurred during battles. He had always found it more satisfying to laugh on a battlefield than anywhere else, for if you lived to laugh on a battlefield, you could feel you had earned the laugh. But if you just laughed in a saloon, or at a social, the laugh didn't reach deep.
