Cuomo just read part of this quote - I dedicate it to the criminally negligent Con

[malaise]

and his ReTHUG goons - paid and unpaid.
“In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all - security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.”
~ Edward Gibbon*

*There is debate on the origin of the quotation
The quoted passage was written by Thatcher. In characterizing the Athenians in the article she mistakenly cited Sir Edward Gibbon, but she was actually paraphrasing from "Athens' Failure," a chapter of classicist Edith Hamilton's book The Echo of Greece (New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1967, p.47).
