Lately people around me have been quoting Ernest Hemingway, from "A Farewell to Arms", saying:

– Who is that on the trenches by your side?
– And does it matter?
– More than the war itself.

But this doesn't seem to be a quote from AFTA, or even EH, at all.

Does anyone know where it's from? (If indeed it is from anything?)

This site (from Brazil) takes a look and can't establish the provenance. It also has the Portuguese translation, which I how I have been hearing it:
– Quem está nas trincheiras ao teu lado?
– E isso importa?
– Mais do que a própria guerra.

Any help much appreciated.
