“When the white predators from the desert came a second time they found a brood of men ready to be tools of their purpose. This time again the predators came with guile force-to break our bodies. This time they came with also-a religion to smash the feeblest minds among us, then turn them into tools against us all. The white men from the desert had made a discovery precious to predators and destroyers: the capture of the mind and the body both is a slavery far more lasting, far more secure than the conquest of bodies alone.”
