Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the
nastiest of reasons, will somehow work for the benefit of us all - John
Maynard Keynes


Too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but too few
capitalists - GK Chesterton


Nothing is given to mankind and what little men can conquer must be paid
for with unjust death. But man's grandeur lies elsewhere, in his
decision to rise above his condition. - Albert Camus


The man Of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys:
Power, like a desolating pestilence,
Pollutes whate'er it touches, and obedience,
Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth,
Makes slaves of men, and, of the human frame,
A mechanised automaton.

- Percy Bysshe Shelley


Printer's ink has been running a race against gunpowder these many, many
years. Ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with
gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him
up with a book. But the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim,
while a book can keep on exploding for centuries. - Christopher Morley


Just remember, the toe you step on today may be connected to the ass
you're kissing tomorrow - Former Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci,
scheduled to be released from federal prison this July


Never try to walk across a river because it has an average depth of four
feet- Martin Friedman


Art is either plagiarism or revolution - Paul Guaguin


If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you do read the
newspaper, you're misinformed. - Ascribed to Mark Twain


As a child, fresh out of the hospital with tape covering the left side
of my face, I began to count birds. At age fifty the sum total is
precise and astonishing, my only secret. — Jim Harrison


Ah, lives there a man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said
As he hunched and rolled in his comfortable bed:
To hell with the rent... I'll drink instead!

- Hunter S. Thompson
