"The worst forms of tyranny, or certainly the most successful ones, are not those we rail against but those that so insinuate themselves into the imagery of our consciousness, and the fabric of our lives, as not to be perceived as tyranny." --  Michael Parenti - (1933- )   
 
"In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant." - Charles de Gaulle - (1890-1970) French president and military leader
