Jonathan Stroud
“Can you define "plan" as "a loose sequence of manifestly inadequate observations and conjectures, held together by panic, indecision, and ignorance"? If so, it was a very good plan.”
Jonathan Stroud, The Ring of Solomon

Sun Tzu
“Attack is the secret of defense; defense is the planning of an attack.”
Sun Tzu, The Art of War
