I think those are very good quotes that Frankie posted because they hold a lot of meaning and lessons within themselves. They are important for Eddie to learn in order to move on at all. The last quote is sad because it seems like Eddie sees where they are at as a terrible place, which it is- war is not a wonderful place, but what the Captain sees is something beautiful and beyond that, now anyway. The rest of the quotes basically explain themselves, though, and they were a very good choice to use.
