    Intellectuals can tell themselves anything, sell themselves any bill of goods, which is why they were so often patsies for the ruling classes in nineteenth-century France and England, or twentieth-century Russia and America.
    Lillian Hellman (1907–1984)

    But we are the people of England; and we have not spoken yet.
    Smile at us, pay us, pass us. But do not quite forget.
