“If we look at history–those of us who study it, who can remember it–we understand the reasons why those who come to power swiftly and amid extreme national crises, are so dangerous: during such crises, we all turn into children aching for a good father. And the truth is, in our fear and despair, we’ll take any father, even if his furor is dangerous. It’s as if humans can’t understand how to function without a father.”
