“The Supreme Court's only armor is the cloak of public trust; its sole ammunition, the collective hopes of our society.”

“Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.”

“History does influence our lives - every moment. We never sort of live our lives in a linear fashion. We always have these memories and these images from our past that sometimes we're not even aware of, and they sort of shape who we are.”

“If you are going to write, say, fantasy - stop reading fantasy. You've already read too much. Read other things; read westerns, read history, read anything that seems interesting, because if you only read fantasy and then you start to write fantasy, all you're going to do is recycle the same old stuff and move it around a bit.”

“I love studying Ancient History and seeing how empires rise and fall, sowing the seeds of their own destruction.”

“Those who wish to promote the welfare of the people should advance in solidarity with them and select the path most suitable for them. Since the history of our people is different from that of the people of the West, the steps that the two peoples choose to take in order to advance must also be different.”
