    “Monarchs ought to put to death the authors and instigators of war, as their sworn enemies and as dangers to their states.”
    —Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    “Faithfulness to the past can be a kind of death above ground. Writing of the past is a resurrection; the past then lives in your words and you are free.”
