“The fall of Empire, gentlemen, is a massive thing, however, and not easily fought. It is dictated by a rising bureaucracy, a receding initiative, a freezing of caste, a damming of curiosity—a hundred other factors. It has been going on, as I have said, for centuries, and it is too majestic and massive a movement to stop.”

I’ve done so much research on the “Empire” in scifi. We should chat about it sometime. 😛 Also the first line of this made me think of Star Wars….
