    And now the end is near
    And so I face the final curtain,
    I’ll state my case of which I’m certain.

    And more, much more than this. I did it my way.
    —Frank Sinatra (b. 1915)

    To say “I accept” in an age like our own is to say that you accept concentration-camps, rubber truncheons, Hitler, Stalin, bombs, aeroplanes, tinned food, machine guns, putsches, purges, slogans, Bedaux belts, gas-masks, submarines, spies, provocateurs, press-censorship, secret prisons, aspirins, Hollywood films and political murder.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
