—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“I remember the scenes of battle in which we stood together. I remember especially that broad and deep grave at the foot of the Resaca hill where we left those gallant comrades who fell in that desperate charge. I remember, through it all, the gallantry, devotion and steadfastness, the high-set patriotism you always exhibited.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.”
