Baruch Spinoza
“Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it.”
Baruch Spinoza, Ethics

Voltaire
“history proves that anything can be proved by history.”
Voltaire

Will Durant
“If the average man had had his way there would probably never have been any state. Even today he resents it, classes death with taxes, and yearns for that government which governs least. If he asks for many laws it is only because he is sure that his neighbor needs them; privately he is an Anarchist Unphilosophical, and thinks Laws in his own case superfluous.”
Will Durant

“I can go into my office and pick up the telephone, and in 25 minutes 70 million people will be dead.”
Richard Nixon

Ronald Wright
“John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”
Ronald Wright, A Short History of Progress
