Quotes by Natalia Shafa  (?)

“The same reason as every revolt throughout history,” he had implored her. “To take back what is ours from the landowning class! For the many to free themselves from the tyranny of the few!”
P.N. Shafa, Descendants of Power

“The warlords stand for nothing learned. They stand for a world controlled by power through division. Throughout history, the instigators of violence, the seekers of power, have set the route of the human race. They decided the game, and those who didn’t play were crushed. We don’t need to make the same choices over again.”
P.N. Shafa, Descendants of Power

“You can move us to another planet, she thinks wryly. But you can’t get the human out of us. And to be human is to be at war. Earth or Mars, people love power.”
P.N. Shafa, Descendants of Power
