Anna Komnene (Historian and princess of the Byzaninte Empire, c. 1083-1153)
"For my part, I think that to win a victory by sound planning requires courage; force of character and energy uninformed by thought are not enough - they end not in courage, but in foolhardiness."
- From The Alexiad (Book XV) by Anna Komnene, translated by E.R.A. Sewter, (Penguin Classics, 2009).
