“The “people” who exercise the power, are not always the same people with those over whom it is exercised; and the “self-government” spoken of, is not the government of each by himself, but of each by all the rest.”
― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty

“Those who are still in a state to require being taken care of by others, must be protected against their own actions as well as against external injury.”
― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty

“Our Ford himself did a great deal to shift the emphasis from truth and beauty to comfort and happiness. Mass production demanded the shift. Universal happiness keeps the wheels steadily turning; truth and beauty can’t.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

“That principle is, that the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.”
― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
