Since war has become a kind of stalemate in which no army can gain the upper hand, the armies stymied, constantly threatening each other, but unable to strike a decisive blow. There is no future: no combat but starvation. Not wholesale killing but the bankruptcy of nations and the ruin of the social fabric.

M.I.S. Bloch in Paul Virilio, Bunker Archaeology, 1975

This easy, indifferent sword must be chance - aye, chance free will and necessity - no wise incompatible - all interweavingly working together. The straight course - free will standing to ply her will between given threads; and chance, though restrained in its play within right lines of necessity, and sideways in its motions directed by free will, though thus prescribed to by both, chance by turns rules either, and has the last featuring blow at events.

Herman Melville, Moby Dick, 1851 (via darden)
