Shrapnel Quotations
The word experience is like a shrapnel shell, and bursts into a thousand meanings.
George Santayana

Fritz Kreisler

Philip Gibbs
Suddenly, at about ten o'clock, a dull thud sounded somewhere far away from us, and simultaneously we saw a small white round cloud about half a mile ahead of us where the shrapnel had exploded. The battle had begun.
Fritz Kreisler
