Within and without
From Lawrence in Arabia (2013) Scott Anderson writing about how World War I impacted T.E. Lawrence:
...this was an experience that left him utterly changed, unrecognizable in certain respects even to himself. Victory carries a moral burden the vanquished never know, and as any architect of momentous events, Lawrence would be uniquely haunted by what he saw and did during the Great Loot.
From Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1922) by T.E. Lawrence:
Always my soul hungered for less than it had.
