It Was Almost No Trick At All, He Saw, To Turn Vice Into Virtue And Slander Into Truth, Impotence Into Abstinence, Arrogance Into Humility, Plunder Into Philanthropy, Thievery Into Honor, Blasphemy Into Wisdom, Brutality Into Patriotism, And Sadism Into Justice.

Orr Would Be Crazy To Fly More Missions And Sane If He Didn't, But If He Was Sane He Had To Fly Them. If He Flew Them He Was Crazy And Didn't Have To; But If He Didn't Want To He Was Sane And Had To.
