Diana Gabaldon
“But just then, for that fraction of time, it seems as though all things are possible. You can look across the limitations of your own life, and see that they are really nothing. In that moment when time stops, it is as though you know you could undertake any venture, complete it and come back to yourself, to find the world unchanged, and everything just as you left it a moment before. And it's as though knowing that everything is possible, suddenly nothing is necessary.”
Diana Gabaldon, Outlander

Hermann Rauschning
“Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.”
Hermann Rauschning, The Voice of Destruction
