George MacDonald Fraser
“However, I’ve seen too much of life to fret over if’s and but’s. There’s nothing you can do about them, and if you find yourself at the end of the day an octogenarian with money in the bank and drink in the house- well, you’d be a fool to wish that things had fallen out differently.”
George MacDonald Fraser, Royal Flash

C.S. Lewis
“The first demand any work of art makes upon us is surrender. Look. Listen. Receive. Get yourself out of the way.”
C.S Lewis

“In truth, it takes very little to make a man happy.”
Sholokhov M.A., The Don Flows Home to the Sea

“Imperialism, however, lays burdens, both economic and political, upon the homeland of the conquerors, and its rewards are often illusory…A nation cannot live, or fancy itself to be living, by the efforts of subjects overseas, without some demoralization of its public life at home.”
J H Parry, Age of Reconnaissance Discovery Explorat

Victor Davis Hanson
“The steady economic and social progress made throughout Greece from the seventh to the late fifth century B.C attests to the singular genius of Hoplite warfare: it was a system that prevented the constant and inevitable internecine struggles from having any harmful lasting influence on the culture of the Greek city-state.”
Victor Davis Hanson, The Western Way of War: Infantry Battle in Classical Greece by Victor Davis Hanson
