H. Rider Haggard
“Shall a man
grave his sorrows upon a stone when he hath but need to write them on
the water? Nay, oh /She/, I will live my day, and grow old with my
generation, and die my appointed death, and be forgotten.”
H. Rider Haggard, She

John Kenneth Galbraith
“Under capitalism, man exploits man; while under socialism just the reverse is true.”
John Kenneth Galbraith, A Life in Our Times: Memoirs

John Kenneth Galbraith
“I am worried about our tendency to over invest in things and under invest in people.”
John Kenneth Galbraith

John Kenneth Galbraith
“If you feed enough oats to the horse, some will pass through to feed the sparrows (referring to "trickle down" economics).”
John Kenneth Galbraith

H. Rider Haggard
“Think then what it is to live on here eternally and yet be human; to
age in soul and see our beloved die and pass to lands whither we may
not hope to follow; to wait while drop by drop the curse of the long
centuries falls upon our imperishable being, like water slow dripping
on a diamond that it cannot wear, till they be born anew forgetful of
us, and again sink from our helpless arms into the void unknowable.”
H. Rider Haggard, Ayesha: The Return of She
