    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    ““My ancestors were all famous for military genius.”
    My Lady smiled graciously. “It often runs in families,” she remarked: “just as a love for pastry does.””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.”
