Carl von Clausewitz

Principles and rules are intended to provide a thinking man with a frame of reference.

The political object is the goal, war is the means of reaching it, and the means can never be considered in isolation from their purposes.

War is the domain of physical exertion and suffering.

Secrecy is the first essential in affairs of state.

I'm not interested in who am I. I'm interested in what's gone, the disinheritance, what I've been able to become or learn or fuse with or not fuse with. A certain freedom comes... I like it that way.

My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.
