Alex Beam
“Smith answered immediately, writing at midnight on June 22. “We dare not come,” he insisted—three times. “Your Excellency promises protection. Yet, at the same time, you have expressed fears that you could not control”
Alex Beam, American Crucifixion: The Murder of Joseph Smith and the Fate of the Mormon Church

Dan Carlin
“In war, rational decisions are made for less than rational situations.”
Dan Carlin, The End Is Always Near: Apocalyptic Moments, from the Bronze Age Collapse to Nuclear Near Misses

Marcel Proust
“The chief criticism that I should direct against the old sovereign is that a Seigneur of his rank, head of one of the most ancient and illustrious houses in Europe, should have allowed himself to be led by the nose by that little upstart of a country squire very intelligent for that matter but a pure parvenu like William of Hohenzollern.”
Marcel Proust, Time Regained [In Search of Lost Time vol. 7]

Marcel Proust
“Certainly Brichot’s articles were far from being as remarkable as society people believed them to be. The vulgarity of the man was manifest”
Marcel Proust, Time Regained [In Search of Lost Time vol. 7]

Marcel Proust
“But one reads the papers as one wants to with a bandage over one’s eyes without trying to understand the facts, listening to the soothing words of the editor as to the words of one’s mistress. We are beaten and happy because we believe ourselves unbeaten and victorious.”
Marcel Proust, Time Regained [In Search of Lost Time vol. 7]
