—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
“Power has only one duty—to secure the social welfare of the People.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.
”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
