—E.M. (Edward Morgan)

—Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke Wellington (1769–1852)
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
