“War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”

“And when all bodies meet
In Lethe to be drowned,
Then only numbers sweet
With endless life are crowned.”
