Stanley Kubrick:

The criminal and the soldier at least have the virtue of being against something or for something in a world where many people have learned to accept a kind of grey nothingness, to strike an unreal series of poses in order to be considered normal…. It's difficult to say who is engaged in the greater conspiracy – the criminal, the soldier, or us.
