“A State is absolute in the sense which I have in mind when it claims the right to a monopoly of all the force within the community, to make war, to make peace, to conscript life, to tax, to establish and dis-establish property, to define crime, to punish disobedience, to control education, to supervise the family, to regulate habits, and to censor opinions. The modern State claims all of these powers, and, in the matter of theory, there is no real difference in the size of the claim between communists, fascists, and democrats”. –Walter Lippmann

“The worst crime against working people is a company which fails to operate at a profit”. –Samuel Gompers

“You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun, than you can with a kind word alone”. –Al Capone

“As a musician I tell you that if you were to suppress adultery, fanaticism, crime, evil, the supernatural, there would no longer be the means for writing one note”. –Georges Bizet
