    “They have their belief, these poor Tibet people, that Providence sends down always an Incarnation of Himself into every generation. At bottom some belief in a kind of pope! At bottom still better, a belief that there is a Greatest Man; that he is discoverable; that, once discovered, we ought to treat him with an obedience which knows no bounds. This is the truth of Grand Lamaism; the “discoverability” is the only error here.”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    “There cannot be peaceful coexistence in the ideological realm. Peaceful coexistence corrupts.”
    —Jiang Qing (1914–1991)
