Wednesday
It was futile to argue with politicians, I realized, to try to persuade them that your scepticism concerning their views might be well founded. Politicians developed habits of self-justification and certitude which were immune to logic or emotion: their rhetoric was like a blanket which they wrapped around themselves to keep out the bracing air of dissent.
- Princess Catherine, in Aztec Century by Christopher Evans

Actually, I didn't. I found the book at home... :-) Something to read on the tube. It's OK, but not wild about it.
