Pyotr Kropotkin
“This is the secret of wealth; find the starving and destitute, pay them half a crown, and make them produce five shillings worth in the day, amass a fortune by these means, and then increase it by some lucky hit, made with the help of the State.”
Peter Kropotkin, The Conquest of Bread

Toyohiko Kagawa
“The culture of an age is determined according to the degree of awakening of the conscious life of its people which develops and control the form of materialistic production, distribution, and consumption.”
Toyohiko Kagawa, Brotherhood Economics

Leo Tolstoy
“If there is a God and future life, there is truth and good, and man's highest happiness consists in striving to attain them. We must live, we must love, and we must believe that we live not only today on this scrap of earth, but have lived and shall live”
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Simone Weil
“Evil is license, and that is why it is monotonous: everything has to be drawn from ourselves. One is condemned to false infinity. That is hell itself.”
Simone Weil

RH Tawney
