Mint Quote by Zef Pllumi
““Koncepti oriental i qeverisjes jep ato fuqi të cilat, mund thomi, në nji farë mënyre, nuk i ka mbajtë për vedi as Zoti-Krijues. Në mendjet e ktyne sundimtarve nuk kanë vend as të drejtat njerzore, as mendimi i lirë. Këta supozojnë se me marrjen e pushtetit në dorë, u jepet e drejta e pronësisë mbi pasunitë, veprimet, mendimet, jetën e secilit nenshtetas".””
