“Men build society and society builds men.”
― B.F. Skinner, Walden Two

“Nowadays, everybody fancies himself an expert in government and wants to have a say.”
― B.F. Skinner, Walden Two

“Once in a while a new government initiates a program to put power to better use, but its success or failure never really proves anything. In science, experiments are designed, checked, altered, repeated-- but not in politics... We have no real cumulative knowledge. History tells us nothing. That's the tragedy of a political reformer.”
― B.F. Skinner, Walden Two

“In a democracy, there is no check against despotism, because the principle of democracy is supposed to be itself a check. But it guarantees only that the majority will not be despotically ruled.”
― B.F. Skinner, Walden Two
