"Hence the Stoic division of philosophy into three parts: logic, physics, and ethics. Ethics, the science of how to live well, is the goal...But... neither physics or ethics can be pursued profitably without previous mastery of the art of reasoning.

Bruce Catton
“Haupt’s head swam at the thought of dumping this howling mob down on a battlefield.

He delayed the train as long as he could; then, when he finally sent it off, he wired the officer in command at Fairfax Station to arrest all who were drunk.”
Bruce Catton, Mr. Lincoln's Army

Upton Sinclair
“Nazis didn’t go by looks, they went by instructions. Göring had said: “It is I who decide who is a Jew!”
Upton Sinclair, A World to Win
