    He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Kringelein: I’m going to live. I’m going to have a good time while I can.
    The Baron: That’s my motto, Kringelein. A short life and a gay one.
    William A. Drake (1900–1965)

    Blunders are an inescapable feature of war, because choice in military affairs lies generally between the bad and the worse.
    Allan Massie (b. 1938)
