    If you don’t begin to be a revolutionist at the age of twenty, then at fifty you will be a most impossible old fossil. If you are a red revolutionary at the age of twenty, you have some chance of being up-to-date when you are forty!
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    If you wish --
    ... I’ll be irreproachably tender;
    not a man, but—a cloud in trousers!
    Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    But is an enemy so execrable that tho in captivity his wishes and comforts are to be disregarded and even crossed? I think not. It is for the benefit of mankind to mitigate the horrors of war as much as possible.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
