QUOTE FOR NOVEMBER 1998
These stupid peasants, who, throughout
the world, hold potentates on their thrones make statesmen illustrious, provide
generals with lasting victories, all with ignorance, indifferences,
or half-witted hatred, moving the world with the strength of their arms,
and getting their heads knocked together, in the name of God, the king, or the
stock exchange-immortal, dreaming, hopeless asses, who surrender
their reason to the care of a shining puppet, and persuade some toy to
carry their lives in his purse.
Stephen Crane
