Quote by Bill Bryson

“زندگی سخت بود. در سراسر قرون وسطی قسمت قابل توجهی از هر زندگی صرف تلاش برای زنده ماندن می شد. وقتی در سالی محصول کم بود، همچنان که به طور متوسط یک سال در هر چهارسال چنین بود، گرسنگی در پیش بود. وقتی در سالی محصول کافی برداشت نمی شد، گرسنگی قطعی حتمی بود.”

Our mothers and fathers and daughters and sons were criminalized for choices made out of absolute desperation and lack of any other real options.”
