    “How happy is the sailor’s life,

    In every land a home.”

    “Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. You have attempted to tinge it with romanticism, which produces much the same effect as if you worked a love-story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “The bourgeoisie of the whole world, which looks complacently upon the wholesale massacre after the battle, is convulsed by horror at the desecration of brick and mortar.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
