Ludwig von Mises
“The average man is both better informed and less corruptible in the decisions he makes as a consumer than as a voter at political elections.”
Ludwig von Mises, Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis

Friedrich A. Hayek
“To act on behalf of a group seems to free people of many of the moral restraints which control their behaviour as individuals within the group.”
Friedrich Hayek, The Road to Serfdom

Ann Coulter
“The theories of the French revolutionaries, as summarized by historian Roger Hancock, were founded on "respect for no humanity except that which they proposed to create.
In order to liberate mankind from tradition, the revolutionaries were ready to make him altogether the creature of a new society, to reconstruct his very humanity to meet the demands of the general will.”
Ann Coulter, Demonic: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America

Cormac McCarthy
“A few would quote him scripture to confound his ordering up of eons out of the ancient chaos and other apostate supposings. The judge smiled. Books lie, he said. God dont lie. No, said the judge. He does not. And these are his words. He held up a chunk of rock. He speaks in stones and trees, the bones of things.”
Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West

“Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”
Brad Pitt
