An Utterly Impartial History of Britain OR 2,000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge - John O'Farrell. 'Why did the Normans fight the Saxons at a place called Battle? Did they see the road signs and just think that's where they were supposed to go?'
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, quote: 'We need to forget what we think we are, so that we can really become what we are.'
