Character: Lord Malquist

If you look from afar, he continued, the ninth Earl, history of the world - nothing. Revolution is only a trivial increase the suffering; the ability to indulge their weaknesses passed from hand to hand. But the world does not change neither its shape nor its direction. Seasons ruthless elements unchanged. Amid this constancy of human struggle has not a larger scale than swarming insects in the grass, and the street massacres - no more than sucked spider skeleton flies on dusty window sill.

When the battle turns into a farce, the only way to keep the greatness to rise above it.
