Despite that, most nations look upon their own existence as a self-evident destiny conferred by God, or by Nature, since time immemorial. Nations tend to think of their cultures and political systems, even their frontiers, as the work of Man, but they see their national existence as a transcendent fact, beyond all question
~ Milan Kundera

Then, and only then, you will be a nobody, a slave, because you yourself and nobody else made it so.
~ Terry Goodkind

~ Terry Goodkind
