Sabi is the color of haikai. It is different from tranquility. For example, if an old man dresses up in armor and helmet and goes to the battlefield, or in colorful brocade kimono, attending (his lord) at a banquet, [sabi] is like this old figure.
Matsuo Basho
The Celts would`ve been fighting naked and painted blue, but there was no way I was going to do that. Having a bare midriff and running around killing people was fun. But you don`t want to see boobs bumping up and down on a battlefield. It would be distra...

Alexander`s lasted 2,300 years. Why? He`s remembered because of his vision, because of his compassion, because of his generosity, because of his spirit, because he was different. He was a general, a man, who was able to weep over his soldiers on the battl...

The administration`s view is that the entire world, including every inch of U.S. territory, is akin to a battlefield and that, therefore, if the president decides that he wants to order an arrest or search, then warrants are not necessary. The real contro...

I think that some of our soldiers die in the battlefield and some come home to bad health and die prematurely, just by the nature of the kind of business they`re in.
Alan Kearney
I don`t believe in war as a solution to any kind of conflict, nor do I believe in heroism on the battlefield because I have never seen any.
Thor Heyerdahl
Do you know what would hold me together on a battlefield? The sense that I was perpetuating the language in which Keats and the rest of them wrote!
Andrew Lo
Being over seventy is like being engaged in a war. All our friends are going or gone and we survive amongst the dead and the dying as on a battlefield.
Andrea Yerger
American soldiers had to guard prisoners on the inside while receiving mortar and weapons fire from the outside. Guantanamo is distant from any battlefield, making it far more secure.

[In Moore, a suburb of Oklahoma City, police said 7,500 homes were damaged or destroyed -- half of its 15,000 single- family residences.] It looks like a bomb hit here, ... Houses are just leveled. It looks like a battlefield.
