  1. Arturo Pérez-Reverte _ The Sun Over Breda

    Incluso aunque nuestros hombres y sus generales distaban de ser los mismos que cuando el duque de Alba y Alejandro Farnesio, los soldados españoles continuaron siendo por algún tiempo la pesadilla de Europa; los mismos que habían capturado a un rey francés en Pavía, vencido en San Quintín, saqueado Roma y Amberes, tomado Amiens y Ostende, matado diez mil enemigos en el asalto de Jemmigen, ocho mil en Maastrich y nueve mil en La Esclusa, peleando al arma blanca con el agua hasta la cintura. Éramos la ira de Dios.

  2. Arturo Pérez-Reverte _ The Sun Over Breda

    He who kills from afar knows nothing at all about act of killing. He who kills from afar derives no lesson from life or from death; he neither risks nor stains his hands with blood, nor hears the breathing of his adversary, nor reads the fear, courage, or indifference in his eyes. He who kills from afar tests neither his arm, his heart, nor his conscience, nor does he create ghosts that will later haunt him every single night for the rest of his life. He who kills from afar is a knave who commends to others the dirty and terrible task that is his own.
