inferno

Goossun Art-illery

"Every man needs slaves as he needs fresh air. Commanding is breathing and even the most destitute manage to breathe. The lowest man in the social scale still has his wife or his child. If he is unmarried, a dog. The essential thing, after all, is being able to get angry with someone who has no right to answer back."
