"Time out of mind, strength and courage have been the theme of bards and romances; and from the story of Troy down to today, poetry has always chosen a soldier for a hero.
I wonder, is it because men are cowards in heart that they admire bravery so much, and place military valour so far beyond every other quality for reward and worship?"
- William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair.
