"We fools merely probe playful possibilities, mirror ridiculous realities, and retreat behind our motley way with a twinkle in our eye. Don't take us (or yourself) too seriously."
I should like merely to understand how it happens that so many men, so many villages, so many cities, so many nations, sometimes suffer under a s single tyrant who has no other power than the power they give him; who is able to harm them only to the extent to which they have the willingness to bear with him; who could do them absolutely no injury unless they preferred to put up with him rather than contradict him. Ettiene de La Boetie, 1564
