Famous quotes containing the words major and/or rule:
“The major men
That is different. They are characters beyond
Reality, composed thereof. They are
The fictive man created out of men.
They are men but artificial men.”

You’d better get that in your head;
This world is ruled by violence
But I guess that’s better left unsaid.”
