Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of its own weight and break into pieces.
~ Etienne de la Boetie, The Politics of Obedience, The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude.
