OPENING QUOTATIONS

I’m the hero of this story—don’t need to be saved.

—Regina Spektor, “Hero”

Shall we go on conferring our Civilization upon the peoples that sit in darkness, or shall we give those poor things a rest? Shall we bang right ahead in our old-time, loud, pious way, and commit the new century to the game; or shall we sober up and sit down and think it over first?

—Mark Twain, “To the Person Sitting in Darkness,” 1901

Half-truths are more dangerous—and enduring—than are lies.

—John Lukacs
