—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Neither party expected for the war, the magnitude, or the duration, which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory.”
