    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
    “Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained. And even in the best of all hearts, there remains ... an unuprooted small corner of evil.

    Since then I have come to understand the truth of all the religions of the world: They struggle with the evil inside a human being (inside every human being). It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.”
    Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

    Ludwig von Mises
    “Socialism is an alternative to capitalism as potassium cyanide is an alternative to water.”
    Ludwig von Mises, Human Action: A Treatise on Economics

  • #27
    Ludwig von Mises
    “A man who chooses between drinking a glass of milk and a glass of a solution of potassium cyanide does not choose between two beverages; he chooses between life and death. A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism; it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings.”
    Ludwig von Mises
