Wine is a turncoat; first a friend and then an enemy. -- Henry Fielding
Wine is a turne-coate (first a friend, then an enemy). [Wine is a turncoat, first a friend, then an enemy.] -- George Herbert
What good is all this free-thinking, modernity, and turncoat flexibility if at some gut level you are still a Christian, a Catholic, and even a priest! -- Friedrich Nietzsche
For a few political turncoats there is real excuse. One can hardly blame those whom one ministry have seen fit to throw overboard for having the strength to swim to the other side. -- Dorothy Nevill
Time and again, my sociobiological colleagues have upbraided me as a turncoat, because I will not agree with them that the ultimate criterion for the success of a meme must be its contribution to Darwinian "fitness". At bottom, they insist, a "good meme" spreads because brains are receptive to it, and the receptiveness of brains is ultimately shaped by (genetic) natural selection. -- Richard Dawkins
