    “What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure.

    —Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

    “With Major Lawrence, mercy is a passion. With me, it is merely good manners. You may judge which motive is the more reliable.”
    —Robert Bolt (1924–1995)

    “A major power can afford a military debacle only when it looks like a political victory.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
