George Orwell
“And what we students of history always learn is that the human being is a very complicated contraption and that they are not good or bad but are good and bad and the good comes out of the bad and the bad out of the good, and the devil take the hindmost.” – Robert Penn Warren, All the Kings Men
“Either you must loathe the wicked or imitate them.”
Michel de Montaigne from On Solitude
