"Tentara ini, saya sadari, pasti punya teman di rumah dan di resimennya; namun dia berbaring di sana sepi semua kecuali anjingnya. Saya memandang, tanpa bergerak, pada pertempuran yang menentukan masa depan bangsa-bangsa. Tanpa air mata, saya telah memberi perintah yang menyebabkan kematian ribuan orang. Namun di sini saya diaduk, diaduk dalam-dalam, diaduk hingga menangis. Dan dengan apa? Demi kesedihan satu anjing. Napoleon Bonaparte, saat menemukan seekor anjing di samping tubuh tuannya yang sudah mati, menjilati wajahnya dan melolong, di ladang yang diterangi cahaya bulan setelah pertempuran. Napoleon dihantui oleh adegan ini sampai kematiannya sendiri."

--- Napoleon Bonaparte

Versi Bahasa Inggris

This soldier, I realized, must have had friends at home and in his regiment; yet he lay there deserted by all except his dog. I looked on, unmoved, at battles which decided the future of nations. Tearless, I had given orders which brought death to thousands. Yet here I was stirred, profoundly stirred, stirred to tears. And by what? By the grief of one dog. Napoleon Bonaparte, on finding a dog beside the body of his dead master, licking his face and howling, on a moonlit field after a battle. Napoleon was haunted by this scene until his own death.
