Quote 1

"We have shown them that any problem can be solved between people if only they can trust each other." (16.16)

Two men from opposing sides settle a dispute with... talking? Instead of sending a bunch of people they don't know to fight to their deaths? Hmmm. The leaders who started this war might be able to learn something from these guys.

Quote 2

"I can't speak a word of German, and I can see you can't understand what the hell I'm talking about, can you?" (16.6)

Humans and horses aren't the only ones with communication issues. The English and the Germans can barely communicate, either. But these men are able to get along with each other just fine, if only for a bit—maybe they've learned something from the horses.
