Patrick O'Brian Quotes

Authority Is A Solvent Of Humanity: Look At Any Husband, Any Father Of A Family,and Note The Absorption Of The Person By The Persona, The Individual By The Role. Then Multiply The Family, And The Authority, By Some Hundreds And See The Effect Upon A Sea-captain, To Say Nothing Of An Absolute Monarch.Surely Man In General Is Born To Be Oppressed Or Solitary, If He Is To Be Fully Human; Unless It So Happens That He Is Immune To The Poison.
