—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“Kings govern by popular assemblies only when they cannot do without them.”
—Charles James Fox (1749–1806)
“As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like the culture of flies at the beginning of winter. Having lost their agility, dreamy and demented, they turn slowly about the window in the first icy mists of morning. They give themselves a last wash and brush-up, their ocellated eyes roll, and they fall down the curtains.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
