    “People sometimes tell me that they prefer barbarism to civilisation. I doubt if they have given it a long enough trial. Like the people of Alexandria, they are bored by civilisation; but all the evidence suggests that the boredom of barbarism is infinitely greater.”
    —Kenneth MacKenzie Clark, Baron of Saltwood (1903–1983)

    I and my brother against our cousin
    I, my brother and our cousin against the neighbors
    All of us against the foreigner.”
