    “Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.”
    —Anita Brookner (b. 1938)

    “Armies, for the most part, are made up of men drawn from simple and peaceful lives. In time of war they suddenly find themselves living under conditions of violence, requiring new rules of conduct that are in direct contrast to the conditions they lived under as civilians. They learn to accept this to perform their duties as fighting men.”
