“Tain’t what a man don’t know that hurts him; it’s what he knows that just ain’t so.”
― Frank McKinney Hubbard ("Kin Hubbard")

“War is the most complex, physically and morally demanding enterprise we undertake. No great art or music, no cathedral or temple or mosque, no intercontinental transport net or particle collider or space programme, no research for a cure for a mass-killing disease receives a fraction of the resources and effort we devote to making war. Or to recovery from war and preparations for future wars invested over years, even decades, of tentative peace.”
― Cathal J. Nolan, The Allure of Battle: A History of How Wars Have Been Won and Lost

“Dreams are more persuasive than facts.”
― Robert Fulghum

“Simply refusing to believe a thing does not, in itself, render it untrue.”
― Mark Scheel
