“Some say,” Auntabelle said, “that it was because of the Roman’s brutality and the Roman Emperors’ cruelty, especially to the Christians, who were slaughtered in masses at this very place for the entertainment of the Roman citizens, that Rome fell.” - Auntabelle, Amazon Lee and the Ancient Undead of Rome by Kira G. and Kailin Gow”

“Empathy originated in Mother Africa,
naturalism originated in Latin America,
divine love originated in Arabia,
equilibrium originated in China,
integration originated in India.”
