Some people don’t understand that sitting in your house alone in peace, eating snacks and minding your business is fucking priceless. – Tom Hardy Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
People who create things nowadays can expect to be prosecuted by highly moralistic people who are incapable of creating anything. There is no way to measure the chilling effect on innovation that results from the threats of taxation, regulation and prosecution against anything that succeeds. We’ll never know how many ideas our government has aborted in the name protecting us. – Joseph Sobran Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
To put it baldly, there are two ways to become wealthy: to create wealth or to take wealth away from others. The former adds to society. The latter typically subtracts from it, for in the process of taking it away, wealth gets destroyed. A monopolist who overcharges for his product takes money from those whom he is overcharging and at the same time destroys value. To get his monopoly price, he has to restrict production. – Joseph E. Stiglitz Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The persecuting spirit has its origin morally in the disposition of man to domineer over his fellow creatures; intellectually, in the assumption that one's own opinions are infallibly correct. – John Fiske Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
That’s another thing to remember: hope keeps you alive. Even when you’re dead, it’s the only thing that keeps you alive. – Lauren Oliver Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
That’s the way I feel, at least: like there’s a real me and a reflection of me, and I have no way of telling which is which. – Lauren Oliver Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
It strikes me how strange people are. You can see them every day, you can think you know them and then you found out you hardly know them at all. – Lauren Oliver Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
A good friend keeps your secrets for you. A best friend helps you keep your own secrets. – Lauren Oliver Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
It’s funny isn’t it? When you are young you just want to be old, and then later you wish you could go back to being a kid. – Lauren Oliver Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
So many things become beautiful when you really look. – Lauren Oliver Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Maybe you can afford to wait… but for some of us, there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know. – Lauren Oliver Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone. – Robin Williams Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The worst government is the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when the fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression. – H. L. Mencken Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Next to enjoying ourselves, the next greatest pleasure consists in preventing others from enjoying themselves, or, more generally, in the acquisition of power. Consequently those who live under the dominion of Puritanism become exceedingly desirous of power. Now love of power does far more harm than love of drink or any of the other vices against which Puritans protest. Of course, in virtuous people love of power camouflages itself as love of doing good, but this makes very little difference to its social effects. It merely means that we punish our victims for being wicked, instead of for being our enemies. In either case, tyranny and war result. Moral indignation is one of the most harmful forces in the modern world, the more so as it can always be diverted to sinister uses by those who control propaganda. – Bertrand Russell Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Dissent and dissenters have no monopoly on freedom. They must tolerate opposition. They must accept dissent from their dissent. And they must give it the respect and the latitude which they claim for themselves. – Abe Fortas Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
There is only one god and his name is death. And there is only one thing we say to death: not today. – George R.R. Martin Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Nothing makes the past a sweeter place to visit than the prospect of imminent death. – George R.R. Martin Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Let's see socialism for what it is. Not in the abstract, but in reality. Socialism is: The taking of money (taxes) from some people who work for it and giving it to others who don't work for it. On a grand scale. The vast expansion of freebies doled out by central government. In order to create and sustain dependence. The government protection of favored persons and corporations, permitting them and aiding them to expand their fortunes without limit, regardless of what crimes they commit in the process. (Monsanto would be a fine example.) The squeezing out of those who would compete with the favored persons and corporations. The dictatorship by and for the very wealthy, pretending to be the servant of the masses. The lie that the dictatorship is being run by the masses. The gradual lowering of the standard of living for the overwhelming number of people. The propaganda claiming socialism is the path to a better world for all. In other words, socialism is a protection racket and a long con and a heartless system of elite control, posing as the greatest good. It is just another form of top-down tyranny---as old as the hills. – Jon Rappoport Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, 'Who is destroying the world?' You are. – Ayn Rand Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing. – Albert Jay Nock Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Who would be free themselves must strike the blow. – Lord Byron Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended. – Frederic Bastiat Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
Where the very safety of the country depends upon the resolution to be taken, no consideration of justice or injustice, humanity or cruelty, nor of glory or of shame, should be allowed to prevail. But putting all other considerations aside, the only question should be: What course will save the life and liberty of the country? – Niccolo Machiavelli Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
What a liberation to realize that the “voice in my head” is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that. – Eckhart Tolle Famous Quote	added 2 years ago
