“The leather community is largely anarchistic and shares a healthy distrust of power and arrogance.”
Geoff Mains, Urban Aboriginals: A Celebration of Leathersexuality

Neil Young
“A job is never truly finished. It just reaches a stage where it can be left on its own for a while.”
Neil Young, Waging Heavy Peace: A Hippie Dream

Herman Melville
“However baby man may brag of his science and skill, and however much, in a flattering future, that science and skill may augment; yet for ever and for ever, to the crack of doom, the sea will insult and murder him, and pulverize the stateliest, stiffest frigate he can make; nevertheless, by the continual repetition of these very impressions, man has lost that sense of the full awfulness of the sea which aboriginally belongs to it.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Robert Moss
“Australian Aborigines say that the big stories — the stories worth telling and retelling, the ones in which you may find the meaning of your life — are forever stalking the right teller, sniffing and tracking like predators hunting their prey in the bush.”
Robert Moss

Friedrich A. Hayek
“There is one aspect of the change in moral values brought about by the advance of collectivism which at the present time provides special food for thought. It is that the virtues which are held less and less in esteem and which consequently become rarer and precisely those on which the British people justly prided themselves and in which they were generally agreed to excel. The virtues possessed by Anglo-Saxons in a higher degree than most other people, excepting only a few of the smaller nations, like the Swiss and the Dutch, were independence and self-reliance, individual initiative and local responsbility, the successful reliance on voluntary activity, noninterference with one's neighbor and tolerance of the different and queer, respect for custom and tradition, and a healthy suspicion of power and authority.”
Hayek F.A. The Road to Serfdom
