    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    I have two armchairs that match your sofa. And had about as exciting an evening.

    No Romanians around here ( give it time though ) but still plenty noisy last night. Once again failed to watch the fireworks live from primrose hill, Hampstead heath !
    Maybe one year might brave the elements, but its sooo much easier to put the tv on i m afraid. HAPPY new year.
