Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves - or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
The lust that drives others to enslave an empire, had become, in her limits, a passion for power over him.

So long as men desire to live, I cannot lose my battle.
