“An alliance is like a chain. It is not made stronger by adding weak links to it. A great power like the United States gains no advantage and it loses prestige by offering, indeed peddling, its alliances to all and sundry. An alliance should be hard diplomatic currency, valuable and hard to get, and not inflationary paper from the mimeograph machine in the State Department.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth,
When time is old and hath forgot itself,
When waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy,
And blind oblivion swallowed cities up,
And mighty states characterless are grated
To dusty nothing, yet let memory
From false to false among false maids in love
Upbraid my falsehood.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Karen: I never knew it could be like this. Nobody ever kissed me the way you do.
Sergeant Warden: Nobody?
Karen: No, nobody.
Sergeant Warden: Not even one? Out of all the men you’ve been kissed by?
Karen: Well, that would take some figuring. How many men do you think there’ve been?
Sergeant Warden: I wouldn’t know. Can’t you give me a rough estimate?
Karen: Not without an adding machine.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
