"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

"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
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

Quote by Frank Zappa about the illusion of freedom and revealing the truth behind controlCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater." Frank Zappa

"One can promise actions, but not feelings, for the latter are involuntary. He who promises to love forever or hate forever or be forever faithful to someone is promising something that is not in his power." Friedrich Nietzsche
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

"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
