...no matter which side

The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on.
-Joseph Heller, novelist (1923-1999)

war, finally...

War, at first, is the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that he isn't any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone's being worse off.
-Karl Kraus, writer (1874-1936)

...deadline

I don't need time. What I need is a deadline. 
-Duke Ellington, jazz pianist, composer, and conductor (1899-1974)
