William Godwin Quotes

Strange That Men, From Age To Age, Should Consent To Hold Their Lives At The Breath Of Another, Merely That Each In His Turn May Have A Power Of Acting The Tyrant According To The Law! Oh, God! Give Me Poverty! Shower Upon Me All The Imaginary Hardships Of Human Life! I Will Receive Them With All Thankfulness. Turn Me A Prey To The Wild Beasts Of The Desert, So I Be Never Again The Victim Of Man, Dressed In The Gore-dripping Robes Of Authority! Suffer Me At Least To Call Life, The Pursuits Of Life, My Own! Let Me Hold It At The Mercy Of The Elements, Of The Hunger Of The Beasts, Or The Revenge Of Barbarians, But Not Of The Cold-blooded Prudence Of Monopolists And Kings!
