It was one of the greatest errors in evaluating dictatorship to say that the dictator forces himself on society against its own will.

About This Quote

The idea of “once it is done, it can’t be undone” is a myth that was never true and has no place in society. This idea was used to justify the dictatorships of all kinds throughout history. The truth is that everything we do has consequences and those consequences last forever. It’s these consequences that we must understand and take responsibility for.
