“Freedom? Freedom is an illusion. You all, every one of you, serve and obey your masters every single day. Children obey their parents to avoid being punished. Adults obey their employers to avoid being fired. Good citizens obey the law to avoid imprisonment. You ALL obey ME to avoid a very painful death. Freedom, my friends, is life’s great lie. Once you accept that, in your hearts, you will know peace.”

Lady Morrigana, Supreme Ruler and One True Goddess of the Empire of Corvinna

“It is always useful to face an enemy who is prepared to die for his country. This means that both you and he have exactly the same aim in mind.”

Terry Pratchett, Jingo
