Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty. - Thomas Jefferson
Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair! - J.R.R. Tolkien
