It has disturbed and nearly destroyed that political equilibrium so necessary to the liberties and the welfare of the world.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“The creative writer is usually captive to his next book.”

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interrèd with their bones—
So let it be with Caesar.”
