“the mind is a tyrant”
“A hurt body and mind aren't just like a dictatorship; they are a dictatorship. There is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion.”
“Can tyrants but by tyrants conquered be”
“Woe is the mind of the common man, so easily controlled by the prospect of an ambition never to be truly attained. This is what tyrants live on and by what commoners are blissfully burdened and subdued.”
“Tyrant!”
“There are no tyrants if there are no slaves.”
