Quote of the day 
In Latin, even. I found this while browsing the Oxford Companion to Classical Literature, as I am wont to do:
Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant. (When they create a desolation, they call it peace.)

—Calcagus, leader of the Caledonians,
before a battle with the Romans in A.D. 84.

(I don't suppose he was actually speaking Latin; but that's how Tacitus recorded it.)

Just kinda stuck in my mind, with all those bomb-'em-and-leave-'em wars we've been having...

(The Caledonians lost, by the way.)
