Longshanks: Not the archers. My scouts tell me their archers are miles away and no threat to us. Arrows cost money. Use up the Irish. The dead cost nothing.
Norris: Are you attempting to tell me my duties, sir? Philip Marlowe: No, just having fun trying to guess what they are.
Buck Laughlin: Now tell me, which one of these dogs would you want to have as your wide receiver on your football team?
A fact never went into partnership with a miracle. Truth scorns the assistance of wonders. A fact will fit every other fact in the universe, and that is how you can tell whether it is or is not a fact. A lie will not fit anything except another lie.
It is often observed that the first casualty of war is truth, but how do you tell the truth without betraying the sacrifice of those who accepted the terms of battle? War is a sacrificial system that creates its own justification.

I talk about the gods, I am an atheist. But I am an artist too, and therefore a liar. Distrust everything I say. I am telling the truth.

Anyone who has spent a few nights in a tent during a storm can tell you: The world doesn't care all that much if you live or die.
