The violence we do to ourselves in order to remain faithful to the one we love is hardly better than an act of infidelity. РFran̤ois VI de la Rochefoucault, Maxims
It seemed that rebellion must have an unassailable base, something guarded not merely from attack, but from the fear of it: such a base as we had in the Red Sea Parts, the desert, or in the minds of the men we converted to our creed. – T. E. Lawrence
