EuripedesThere are three classes of citizens. The first are the rich, who are indolent and yet always crave more.

Eric SchaubCan we truly expect those who aim to exploit us to be trusted to educate us?
Erich FrommWhen Fascism came into power, most people were unprepared, both theoretically and practically.
