    “People buy their necessities in shops and have to pay dearly for them because they have to assist in paying for what is also on sale there but only rarely finds purchasers: the luxury and amusement goods. So it is that luxury continually imposes a tax on the simple people who have to do without it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “...many tax collectors and sinners were also sitting with Jesus.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Mark 2:15.

    “It is for want of a man that there are so many men. It is individuals that populate the world.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
