“No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition. It reduces their supporters to that tractable number which can be managed by the joint influences of fruition and hope. It offers vengeance to the discontented, and distinction to the ambitious; and employs the energies of aspiring spirits, who otherwise may prove traitors in a division or assassins in a debate.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (18041881)
“And in their blazing solitude
The stars sang in their sockets through the night:
Blow bright, blow bright
The coal of this unquickened world.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
