Carroll Quigley
"He who controls the weather, will control the world. He who controls gravity, will control the universe. He who controls time, will never be around."
Thomas Frey
...in the last thousand years. If we go back before [AD] 976... the main core of people's life and experience... was in the religious, emotional and social levels. They had religious beliefs, they had social and emotional relationships with people they saw every day. ...controls and rewards were internalized. ...This is why they could get along without a state in 976: all the significant controls were internalized.
Carroll Quigley
