"Civilization after civilization, it is the same.Â The world falls to tyranny with a whisper.Â The frightened are ever keen to bow to a perceived necessity, in the belief that necessity forces conformity, and conformity a certain stability.Â In a world shaped into conformity, dissidents stand out, are easily branded and dealt with.Â There is no multitude of perspectives, no dialogue.Â The victim assumes the face of the tyrant, self-righteous and intransigent, and wars breed like vermin.Â And people die."
