“Many people must be ruled to thrive. In their selfishness and greed, they see free people as their oppressors. They wish to have a leader who will cut the taller plants, so the sun will reach them. They think no plant should be allowed to grow taller than the shortest, and in that way give light to all.They would rather be provided a guiding light, regardless of the fuel, then light the candel themselvs.”
T. Goodkind, 1994
