“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.”

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“O, the difference of man and man!

“The tears I have cried over Germany have dried. I have washed my face.”
