Behind the Times

I am a bit behind the times with this but it still holds well enough…

“The idea of a hereditary ruler is as absurd as the idea of a hereditary mathemetician”.

Thomas Paine

“Majesty and love do not consort well together, nor do they dwell in the same place.”

Ovid

“Mankind will never be free until the last king is hung with the entrails of the last priest”

Denis Diderot.

“The institution of Royalty in any form is an insult to the human race.”

Mark Twain

“I didn’t accept the OBE (Order of the British Empire – an award given to some british people) because it`s not a club you want to join when you look at the villains who`ve got it. It`s all the things I think are despicable: patronage, deferring to the monarchy and the name of the British Empire, which is a monument of exploitation and conquest.”

Film Director, Ken Loach
