Imperator Augustus: Humanity. They follow leaders -- queens or kings, chiefs or emperors. We tell them what to do, and they do it. We know no more than they, but still, they follow us, blindly, as people lost in the catacombs would follow a child carrying a flaming torch.
Lycius: And what do you follow then, you leaders -- to make us follow you, and obey you?
Imperator Augustus: We follow our dreams.

(to sum up Father David's semester in a nutshell -- fields of dreams, blind sheep, whoa Foucault, and Ancient Greeks.)
