“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The first dead man on Omaha Beach must be a sailor!”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
“Then the American flag was saluted. In general, in the United States people always salute the American flag.”
