“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.”
