    We are, to put it mildly, in a mess, and there is a strong chance that we shall have exterminated ourselves by the end of the century. Our only consolation will have to be that, as a species, we have had an exciting term of office.
    —Desmond Morris (b. 1928)

    During the first formative centuries of its existence, Christianity was separated from and indeed antagonistic to the state, with which it only later became involved. From the lifetime of its founder, Islam was the state, and the identity of religion and government is indelibly stamped on the memories and awareness of the faithful from their own sacred writings, history, and experience.
    Bernard Lewis, U.S. Middle Eastern specialist. Islam and the West, ch. 8, Oxford University Press (1993)

    Living is a sickness to which sleep provides relief every sixteen hours. It’s a palliative. The remedy is death.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    Is not the king’s name twenty thousand names?
    Arm, arm, my name! A puny subject strikes
    At thy great glory.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
