“Who is John Galt?”
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Frédéric Bastiat
“If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?”
Frederic Bastiat, The Law

Alexandre Dumas
“How did I escape? With difficulty. How did I plan this moment? With pleasure.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

John  Adams
“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
John Adams, The Portable John Adams

Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
“When one woman strikes at the heart of another, she seldom misses, and the wound is invariably fatal.”
Choderlos de Laclos, Les liaisons dangereuses
