Desert Quotes

I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered.

For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.
