“The English were unpleasant in their own very English way. It was as if they lived at the top of the world, and naturally looked down on everyone else; 'looked down' in the sense that everyone was clearly beneath them so what else could they do? No spite or guilt, just... 'Why doesn't everyone else try harder?' There was a hint of warmth to their contempt that I found especially deplorable.”
― Otaro Maijo, JORGE JOESTAR [ジョージ・ジョースター]

“So it is that in our world
hopes are thwarted at every turn
and the people's lot is always pain.”
― Royall Tyler, The Tale of the Heike
