—Bernadette Devlin (b. 1947)
“He took as his motto: misfortune is good for something. How many good people have been able to say: misfortune is good for nothing!”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
