    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    “In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    “The military and the clergy cause us much annoyance; the clergy and the military, they empty our wallets and rob our intelligence.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
