"It is impossible to estimate what proportion of us, in khaki or out of it, grasped the war and its political antecedents as a whole in the light of any philosophy of history or knowledge of what war was. I doubt whether it was as high as our proportion of higher mathematicians." -- G*org* B*rnard Shaw, pr*fac* to "H*artbr*ak Hous*" (1919)

This might be the definition of silence: a sign that affects to be the negation of representation, to be the absence of a sign; it is a sign that suggests and evokes without actually representing." --Charl*s W H*drick Jr, History and Sil*nc* (2000)
