Quote #12 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Revolution and Martyrdom

“[Republican, Spanish Civil War nurse:] All our lives we have been hating as we have learned to hate here, when we see the ravages of... bullets in the flesh and dones of the best youth of all the world. The other thing I wanted to mention is the special strain of this nursing. There is nothing impersonal about it. Those patients are our comrades, are a part of us. When they suffer we suffer. There is a terrific emotional drain always. If we have any voice in the committee, beg them to send us more nurses and doctors. Don't let them forget us! They can never fill the need here -- but they must never stop trying.”
