“In each succeeding war there is a tendency to proclaim as something new the principles under which it is conducted. Not only those who have never studied or experienced the realities of war, but also professional soldiers frequently fall into the error. But the principles of warfare as I learned them at West Point remain unchanged.”
John J. Pershing, My Experiences in the World War

Diana Stevan
“She understood that unrequited love could break a heart, but there was nothing she could do about his sorrow.”
Diana Stevan, Sunflowers Under Fire
