    “Fighting is like champagne. It goes to the heads of cowards as quickly as of heroes. Any fool can be brave on a battlefield when it’s be brave or else be killed.”
    —Margaret Mitchell (1900–1949)

    “Though castles topple on their warder’s heads,
    Though palaces and pyramids do slope
    Their heads to their foundations; though the treasure
    Of nature’s germens tumble all together,
    Even till destruction sicken—answer me
    To what I ask you.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
