“Rakouská justice je pořád ještě infiltrovaná bývalými nacisty. Ruka ruku myje a ta hnědá chátra se navzájem podporuje. Máme spolkového prezidenta, který byl v SA, a nikomu v celém státě to nevadí. Pořád na sebe nahlížíme jako na oběti nacistického Německa. Ve skutečnosti bylo v Rakousku zrovna tolik parchantů jako u jeho sousedů.”
Laura Baldini, Aspergers Schüler

“William (Marshal n.n.) gained great credit and patronage by his determined defense of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine… He was largely supported by royal patronage… serving the Young King (Henry, son of Henry II) on the field of tournament and at court. The latter role may have been the more dangerous: his biographer claims that enemies falsely accused him of adultery with the wife of the Young King; some think it was a romantic invention… If an accusation was in fact made, Marshal solved it as he did later when charges were brought against him at the court of King John: by challenging his accusers to fight, a challenge that they prudently avoided. It is fascinating to note that Lancelot, with a roughly contemporary beginning to a career in imaginative literature, would respond in just this fashion to charges against him. And the Young King, needing William`s martial skills (as Arthur needed those of Lancelot in romance), soon retained the great warrior in his service again.”
Richard W. Kaeuper, Medieval Chivalry
