For ... it moved from King Charles I to the Long Parliament; from thence to the Rump; from the Rump to Oliver Cromwell; and then back again from Richard Cromwell to the Rump; then to the Long Parliament; and thence to King Charles, where long may it remain.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“A few honest men are better than numbers.”
—Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658)
““But there’s always been rich and poor, and that’s all there is to it. And us two won’t change it, either.”

—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
