—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
