<blockquote>Although tyranny may successfully rule over foreign peoples, it can stay in power only if it first destroys the national institutions of its own people.</blockquote>
<cite>~ Hannah Arendt</cite>

<blockquote>Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to land. Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning, and her name, Mother of Exiles.</blockquote>
