It makes the blood so boldly, like it constricts the intellect. And if the striking of the war drum reached a fiebrige height and the blood is cooking and hating, and the intellect is dismissed, the leader doesn't need to reject the citizens rights. The citizens, cought by anxiety and blinded through patriotism, will subordinate all their rights to the leader and this even with happy courage. Why do I know that? I know it, because this is, what I did. And I am Gajus Julius Cäsar.~ Gaius Julius Caesar When the swords flash let no idea of love, piety, or even the face of your fathers move you.~ Gaius Julius Caesar Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
