    ... near a war it is always not very near.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    I’ve never forgotten for long at a time that living is struggle. I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for—whether it’s a field, or a home, or a country.
    Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    The war on privilege will never end. Its next great campaign will be against the privileges of the underprivileged.
