"A lot of us have all sorts of ideas, and we select some rather than others and give expression to those... and some works of art are more successful than others. Some languish in obscurity and are never heard of again, while others form the foundation of a whole school of art." Rupert Sheldrake

"I don't feel like a dream girl, but I think it's really nice. I guess a part of me wishes I got that sort of attention in my real life. Because in my real life, I'm this weird, dorky girl who just hangs out with her dog." Alicia Silverstone
Quote by Manly P. Hall about ignorance, superstition, and fear governing mankindCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"When the mob governs, man is ruled by ignorance; when the church governs, he is ruled by superstition; and when the state governs, he is ruled by fear. Before men can live together in harmony and understanding, ignorance must be transmuted into wisdom, superstition into an illuminated faith, and fear into love." Manly P. Hall
John Taylor Gatto quote about individuality, family, community, and freedomCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Individuality, family, and community are, by definition, expressions of singular organization, never of "one-right-way" thinking on the grand scale. Children and families need some relief from government surveillance and intimidation if original expressions belonging to THEM are to develop. Without these freedom has no meaning." John Taylor Gatto
Harry Browne quote about individual freedom and communitarianismCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The communitarians may say you've been enjoying too much individual freedom, and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize, obey and conform to their choices." Harry Browne
Inspirational quote by Harry Edson Browne about the price of success and achieving freedomCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Whatever the price, identify it now. What will you have to go through to get where you want to be? There is a price you can pay to be free of the situation once and for all. It may be a fantastic price or a tiny one - but there is a price." Harry Edson Browne
Harry Browne quote about freedom, prosperity, and American foreign policyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"But, actually, it is only Americans who say that our freedoms and prosperity are the reason foreigners hate us. If you ask the foreigners, they make it clear that it's America's bullying foreign policy they detest." Harry Browne
Harry Edson Browne quote about America, freedom, peace, and civil libertiesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"In the 1880s, people all over the world looked to America for inspiration. Its very existence was proof that it was possible to have a relatively free and peaceful country. No income tax, no foreign wars, no welfare state, no intrusions on civil liberties." Harry Edson Browne
Inspirational quote by Andrea Hein about freedom and courage to be oneselfCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Freedom begins exactly where you stop bending yourself just to belong. There will always be people who don’t understand you—and that’s okay. Your worth is not defined by whether others accept you, but by having the courage to stand by who you are and to bring your own truth into the world with love and strength." Andrea Hein
Albert Jay Nock quote about state power and its effect on societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"It is unfortunately none too well understood that, just as the State has no money of its own, so it has no power of its own. All the power it has is what society gives it, plus what it confiscates from time to time on one pretext or another, there is no other source from which State power can be drawn. Therefore every assumption of State power, whether by gift or seizure leaves society with so much less power; there is never, nor can be, any strengthening of State power without a corresponding and roughly equivalent depletion of social power." Albert Jay Nock
Hans-Hermann Hoppe quote about why more paper money does not make society richerCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"More paper money cannot make a society richer, of course, – it is just more printed-paper. Otherwise, why is it that there are still poor countries and poor people around? But more money makes its monopolistic producer (the central bank) and its earliest recipients (the government and big, government-connected banks and their major clients) richer at the expense of making the money's late and latest receivers poorer." Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Hans-Hermann Hoppe quote about the impoverishing effects of socialism in the United StatesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"All the impoverishing effects of socialism are with us in the U.S.: reduced levels of investment and saving, the misallocation of resources, the overutilization and vandalization of factors of production, and the inferior quality of products and services." Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Aldous Huxley quote about money, candidates, political principles, and image-driven politicsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"All that is needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere. Political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate, the way he is projected by the advertising experts, are the things that really matter." Aldous Huxley
