- "I suppose there’s a melancholy tone at the back of the American mind, a sense of something lost. And it’s the lost world of Thomas Jefferson. It is the lost sense of innocence that we could live with a very minimal state, with a vast sense of space in which to work out freedom."― George Will
- "Only the freedom of mind can prevent the state from becoming totalitarian and from issuing totalitarian demands."― Friedrich Durrenmatt
- "You can’t very well live in a castle while your kin is on the poor side of town and barely have enough food. Some want you to get to the top and rely on you making it for them, too."― Martha Reeves
