“The Assise sur la ligece was among the most sacred laws of the kingdom—a guarantee of the property rights of the baronage and their vassals. If anyone took another’s property without just cause, the entire noble class would align against them, regardless of allegiances or family ties.”

Mitchell’s Quotes

“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
― H.L. Mencken, Prejudices First Series

“One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one willl only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: "This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me.”
― Franz Kafka, The Blue Octavo Notebooks
