"In Battle, there are two things you need to remember:

"If you're fighting fair, you're not doing it right; and if you're not cheating, you're not trying hard enough."

- Jake Todbloc

"I make up my opinions from facts and reasoning, and not to suit any body but myself. If people don't like my opinions, it makes little difference as I don't solicit their opinions or votes."

"If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking."

- William Tecumseh Sherman

Jornada Del Muerto:

Notes for chapter 1:

(1)The translation of these hymns can be found on Wikipedia under the title of "Requiem". The four hymns used are Introit, Tract, Libera Me, and In paradisum, four out of the five or six that I found to be the most heartfelt and beautiful. I couldn't bring myself to add to my word count by putting them here; it felt too much like cheating.
