"I'm excited about all new sculptures that don't feature me," Steve said with a tiny little smile, "but yes, my father died in World War I, so I have a personal interest in seeing that conflict memorialized properly."

"Just please don't get them from the stands by the Washington Monument," Steve said, sounding disapproving. "They mark the prices up to prey on tourists."

"We learned belatedly that if you really rub your victory into your defeated enemy's face, it fosters a generation of resentment that leads to war very soon afterwards."
