Quotes by David Greig (?)

“You seem to think peace is a natural state, Siward, and conflict its interruption, but the truth is the exact opposite. Peace is what the sea looks like in a dead calm - a rare and beautiful moment - something impossible - a glimpse of perfection before the wind comes back again.

You can no more force peace into existence than you can wander across the surface of the sea stamping the waves flat.”
― David Greig, Dunsinane

“So there comes a moment when we turn and look at each other - England and Scotland - and realise we just want different things. The Union is an unhappy marriage. I think it's time we both sat down and said it out loud - it's over.”
