• [Gulliver has just explained in great detail the nature of 18th Century Britain] 

  Queen of Brobdingnag : The history of you country seems to consist of nothing more than a squalid string of conspiracies, rebellions, revolutions, murders and massacres. Every judgment seems to be motivated by greed, by malice, hypocrisy, hatred, envy, lust and madness!

  Lemuel Gulliver : Perhaps I explained badly.

  Queen of Brobdingnag : You have proved that ignorance, idleness and vice are the only qualifications for public office and that your laws are made by those whose only interest is in perverting them. I can only conclude that your people are the most pernicious race of odious little vermin that ever nature suffered to crawl upon the face of the Earth!
