Notable Quotable #22
“In so many of the little places of everyday life in which life is lived out, somehow democracy doesn't exist. And one of the creeping hands of totalitarianism running through the democracy is the Federal Bureau of Investigation… Because why does the FBI do all this? To scare the hell out of people… They work for the establishment and the corporations and the politicos to keep things as they are. And they want to frighten and chill the people who are trying to change things.”
- Howard Zinn
The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit.
- Milton Friedman
The State is a gang of thieves writ large - the most immoral, grasping and unscrupulous individuals in any society.
- Murray Rothbard
Socialism, or communism as it is sometimes called, is merely a secular religion, where the State becomes a god.
- Stefan Molyneux
It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency.
- Alexis de Tocqueville
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
- Ephesians 6:12 NKJV
Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
It isn't a coincidence that governments everywhere want to educate children. Government education, in turn, is supposed to be evidence of the state's goodness and its concern for our well-being.
The real explanation is less flattering. If the government's propaganda can take root as children grow up, those kids will be no threat to the state apparatus. They'll fasten the chains to their own ankles.
- Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.
Living is a constant process of deciding what we are going to do.
- Jose Ortega y Gasset
