The Great Taking Quotes

“To not know is bad. To not want to know is worse.”
― David Rogers Webb, The Great Taking

“I recall the words of my father, who had lived through all of this, “The only thing they can’t take from you is your education.”
― David Rogers Webb, The Great Taking

“I asked my father why people had turned in their gold. He said that if you did not you were a criminal, but further, that there was nothing you would be able to do with it because you could not legally transport or sell it. So, essentially, the use and value of gold had been confiscated. This was certainly the case because it remained illegal for a U.S. person to own gold for more than forty years!”
― David Rogers Webb, The Great Taking
