Famous quotes containing the words external and/or links:

    “A state that denies its citizens their basic rights becomes a danger to its neighbors as well: internal arbitrary rule will be reflected in arbitrary external relations. The suppression of public opinion, the abolition of public competition for power and its public exercise opens the way for the state power to arm itself in any way it sees fit.... A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    “My sister and I, you will recollect, were twins, and you know how subtle are the links which bind two souls which are so closely allied.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
