Great times call for great men.
      - The Good Soldier Schweik
         (author's preface),
        (also titled The Good Soldier Svejk) (Cecil Parrott translation)
        [Books (First Lines)]

"And so they've killed out Ferdinand,"1 said the charwoman to Mr Svejk, who had left military service years before, after having been finally certified by an army medical board as an imbecile, and now lived by selling dogs--ugly, mongrel monstrosities whose pedigrees he forged.
  1 The archduke Franz Ferdinand, nephew of the Austrian Emperor, Franz Joseph, was assassinated with his wife at Sarajevo by the Serbian nationalist, Gavrilo Princip, in 1914.
      - The Good Soldier Schweik (ch. 1),
