“Absolute monarchy,... is the easiest death, the true Euthanasia of the BRITISH constitution.
”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The time was once, when thou unurged wouldst vow
That never words were music to thine ear,
That never object pleasing in thine eye,
That never touch well welcome to thy hand,
That never meat sweet-savored in thy taste,
Unless I spake, or looked, or touched, or carved to thee.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
