Beware of charisma . . . Representative Men; was Ralph Waldo Emerson's 1850 phrase for the great men in a democracy . . .

The strongest animals on earth are plant eaters. Every creature we've enlisted to do the work we couldn't handle - the horse, donkey, elephant, camel, water buffalo, ox, yak - is an herbivore... whose huge muscles were built from plant protein, and whose strong bones got that way, and stayed that way, from grazing on grass and eating other vegetables.
Strength was the virtue of paganism; obedience is the virtue of Christianity. - David Hare
We don’t even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. ― Isabel Allende
Some people carry their heart in their head and some carry their head in their heart. The trick is to keep them apart yet working together. - David Hare
The ultimate tendency of civilization is towards barbarism. - David Hare
