“Accursed cowards, so eager to sleep in a brave man's bed! But listen - as when a fallow deer leaves the twin fawns just born to her to slumber in some great lion's den, while she herself goes roving and browsing over the mountain spurs and grassy hollows, but then the lion returns to his lair and strikes the two sucklings with hideous death, so will Odysseus strike these suitors with hideous death.”
― Homer, [The Odyssey (Penguin Classics)] [By: Homer] [April, 2003]

“Freiheit und andere prächtige Namen dienen als Vorwand: denn noch nie hat jemand anderer Völker Knechtung und Herrschaft für sich angestrebt, ohne gerade jene Worte zu gebrauchen.”
