Both, as a measure of their creation, have always had to do with the harmonization of what is new with what is familiar, with the balance between novelty and synthesis, with the struggle to make partial order in total chaos.... This cannot be an easy life.”

“Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.”
