• Waitresses, soldiers, rickshaw drivers, old ladies selling vegetables - my father would schmooze anybody. He was Clintonesque before the word existed. And, of course, it paid dividends.

• Parte de los motivos de Sykes tenían su origen en la religiosidad. Católico devoto, consideraba que el regreso de la antigua tribu de Israel a Tierra Santa era una forma de corregir un error de casi dos mil años. Ese punto de vista había adquirido una nueva pasión y urgencia con las masacres de armenios. Para Sykes, esa atrocidad demostró que nunca más se podría confiar en el Imperio Otomano para proteger a sus minorías religiosas. Al final de la guerra, se le arrebataría la Tierra Santa cristiana y judía de Palestina, y el fracaso de las Cruzadas sería evidente.
