Thomas Sowell
“The question is not what anybody deserves. The question is who is to take on the God-like role of deciding what everybody else deserves. You can talk about “social justice” all you want. But what death taxes boil down to is letting politicians take money from widows and orphans to pay for goodies that they will hand out to others, in order to buy votes to get reelected. That is not social justice or any other kind of justice.”
Thomas Sowell, Controversial Essays

“Did you ever hear of cognitive dissonance?” she asked. “No.” “Basically, it’s a theory that people subconsciously reinterpret their motives and actions in a way that makes them feel better about themselves afterward. And then they start to believe that the basis of the reinterpretation is also true.”
Barbara A. Shapiro, The Art Forger

Thomas Sowell

Thomas Sowell, The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy

Thomas Sowell
“When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination.”
Thomas Sowell

“We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river to explore.”
John Powell SJ
