I alla fall, så var det rätt lätt att komma på ett citat
från en av mina favorit-böcker:
OK, this whole thing with picking favorites is quite hard... it's hard to just pick one thing! I've discovered that to come up with a favorite something or the other, I have to go on a sort of self-discover journey: I not only have to think about what good literature is, but also have to confront myself with questions like "what is it really that I like about this quote?"
Maybe the rant above doesn't really make sense, but in any case, this time around it was quite easy to come up with a quote from one of my all time favorite books:

"Only
old Benjamin professed to remember every detail of his long life and to know
that things never had been, nor ever could be much better or much worse -
hunger, hardship and disappointment being, so he said, the unalterable law of
life." – Animal Farm
(Djurfarmen) av George Orwell
Kanske är det ett ganska fatalistiskt citat, men det stämmer
ofta då det gäller politik, eftersom det som driver många som engagerar sig i
politik är strävan efter makt mer än något annat.
Perhaps the quote above is fatalistic in nature, but it fits the current political climate, I think. This because those who are in politics are in it for the power more than anything else.
