"Politicians never dare to criticise the people, who are often base and cowardly and stupid, they never tell them off or condemn their behaviour, they invariably praise them to the skies, when there is usually very little reason to praise any people anywhere. They have become untouchable and have taken the place of once despotic, absolutist monarchs."
– Javier Marías, from Berta Isla, translated by Margaret Jull Costa (Knopf, 2019)
