Thucydides
“I blame not those who wish to rule, but those who are willing to serve. The same human nature which is always ready to domineer over the subservient, bids us defend ourselves against the aggressor.”
Thucydides, The Complete Works of Thucydides

Cho Nam-Joo
“This was a time when the government had implemented birth control policies called “family planning” to keep population growth under control. Abortion due to medical problems had been legal for ten years at that point, and checking the sex of the fetus and aborting females was common practice, as if “daughter” was a medical problem.”
Cho Nam-Joo, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982

E.M. Forster
“Italy is such a delightful place to live in if you happen to be a man. There one may enjoy that exquisite luxury of Socialism — that true Socialism which is based not on equality of income or character, but on the equality of manners.”
E.M. Forster, Where Angels Fear to Tread

Miyamoto Musashi
“Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is. And you must bend to its power or live a lie.”
Miyamoto Musashi

A.A. Gill
“Venice is a Dorian Gray city. Somewhere up there in the world's attic, there's another place with the haggard, poxed and ravaged face of unspeakable evil. And I suspect it's Cardiff.”
A.A. Gill, Table Talk
