The attempt to live that way, the attempt to treat everybody - it fails all the time - but the attempt to treat people as equals is a good attempt. It's a very good attempt.

The American people are sheep. They're comfortable, rich, working. It's like the Romans, they're happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right.

The Temple of Dendur, Zia said. Actually it was built by the Romans - When they occupied Egypt, Carter said, like this was delightful information. Augustus commissioned it. Yes, Zia said. Fascinating, I murmured. Would you two like to be left alone with a history textbook?
