Quotes by Ezzedine C. Fishere (?)

“Seven years of dealing with a society hooked on its own hang-ups, a prisoner of its victim mentality, and hostile to anyone who suggested it needed to get out of the mess it was in convinced him that this was a doomed nation. Nothing and no one could rescue it. So he decided to save himself instead”
