Robert K. Massie
“Why is almost the whole earth governed by monarchs?" Voltaire asked. "The honest answer is because men are rarely worthy of governing themselves... Almost nothing great has ever been done in the world except by the genius and firmness of a single man combating the prejudices of the multitude... I do not like government by the rabble.”
Robert K. Massie, Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman

Tony Judt
“In a Communist Party everyone took their instructions from above, everything was subordinate to politics. "Culture" was not a protected zone in which the Soviet writ need not run.”
Tony Judt, Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945

David McCullough
“Free speech is a restraint on government; not an incitement to the citizen”
David McCullough, Truman

H.W. Brands
“As individuals, we have a moral obligation no to endanger others, and that can mean endangering others with a gun, with a car, or with a virus. If a person has reason to believe that he or she may be a carrier, that person has a moral duty to be tested for AIDS; human decency requires it. And the reason is very simple: Innocent people are being infected by this virus, and some of them are going to acquire AIDS and die.”
H.W. Brands, Reagan: The Life

Tony Judt
“Does Europe not realize, wrote the exiled Romanian Mircea Eliade in April 1952, that she has been amputated of a part of her very flesh? "For... all these countries are in Europe, all these peoples belong to the European community.”
Tony Judt, Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945
