    As a Texan, I say that no Texan should be a Francophile. It's like deciding that greatness is too good for you and so you want to lower and debase yourself or something.

    Oh dear.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Not quite, but it did give me the inclination to check into Chiang to see if he was indeed a knight.

    Anyways, I'll be back in a few hours with a new one.
