Quote by Rachel Parris

“I have seen just enough of society to understand that a woman’s plan for her future – considering her own economic security, the diplomatic situations she might navigate, the compromises she is and is not willing to make, and calculating her best bet at victory, or indeed, at peace – is to be respected. Such thinking could rival any strategy put forward by a general of the highest order.”

“Io penso anche che una visione del passato che si prefigga esplicitamente di eliminare ogni crisi, ogni declino, rappresenti un reale pericolo per il giorno d'oggi. La fine dell'Occidente romano vide orrori e disordini quali io spero sinceramente di non dover mai sperimentare, oltre a distruggere una complessa civiltà, facendo retrocedere gli abitanti dell'Occidente a un livello di vita tipico della preistoria. Prima della caduta di Roma, i Romani erano sicuri quanto lo siamo noi oggi che il loro mondo sarebbe continuato per sempre senza sostanziali mutamenti. Si sbagliavano. Noi saremmo saggi a non imitare la loro sicumera.”
