    “I have seen in this revolution a circular motion of the sovereign power through two usurpers, father and son, to the late King to this his son. For ... it moved from King Charles I to the Long Parliament; from thence to the Rump; from the Rump to Oliver Cromwell; and then back again from Richard Cromwell to the Rump; then to the Long Parliament; and thence to King Charles, where long may it remain.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    “I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.”
    —Pope Gregory VII (c. 1020–1085)
