“Spar Dödlige dina tårar, stäng plågan i ett tåligt bröst; förkväv det hopp din högmod dårar, vart når din matta klagoröst?

Ur "En stadig man", en etisk dikt av Kellgren.”
― Johan Henric Kellgren, Skrifter (Svenska klassiker)

“Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom, socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville

“At every period of history, people have believed things that were just ridiculous, and believed them so strongly that you risked ostracism or even violence by saying otherwise. If our own time were any different, that would be remarkable. As far as I can tell it isn't.”
― Paul Graham
