Quote #10

KURTZ: We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "f***" on their airplanes because it's obscene!

Here's an insight into one of the many moral paradoxes of war. You can see how Kurtz has given up on the Army's logic and is living by his own set of rules now. He doesn't see his reasoning as any more twisted than the Army's.

Quote #11

KURTZ: The horror...the horror...

Kurtz is lost in a universe of pain. No wonder he kinda wants Willard to put him out of his misery. There's still ambiguity in these last word. Is he talking about the horrors of the war? The horrors he's inflicted himself? Maybe he's just fond of quoting Joseph Conrad.
