Najviše pozornosti treba posvetiti puku, a dosljedno tome njegovoj zemlji, iz koje sve proizlazi, u koju se sve vraća. Nazor manjine da je primila svoje privilegije po milosti Božjoj u svoju vlast jednako je apsurdan kao što bi bio apsurdan vladar koji bi sebi utvarao da zemlja kojom vlada pripada njemu, a ne državljanima; kad bi si vladar utvarao da su milijuni stvoreni za njega.

I've fallen in love with you. I love you even now when you sit before me with the eyes of a wolf. So take pity upon the fool I have become. I forgot it was only a bargain between us. ↗

Miss Edmonton: I don't even know where to start. It's too horrifying to even speak of. Jenny: Nonsense. Let's start with the basics. What did your aunt tell you? Miss Edmonton: My aunt said that my husband will come into my room and pull my skirt up. And then he'll put himself inside of me. She said it hurts. She suggested I hold my tongue and pretend I am somewhere else until he is done. Jenny: Yes. I should think it would hurt if you did it that way. Good heavens. ↗
