“And what
will be their fate?” he asked. “Forgive me master, but I am curious to know, so
that my heart may prepare itself.”
“Flesh
without spirit,” I said. “Life without hope, the slavery of mankind-a bondage
so hopeless that slaves will no longer know they are slaves. Wealth without
happiness, abundance without the power to enjoy it. The death of the spirit.”
_Mika Waltari, The Dark Angel
