—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“The whole life of an American is passed like a game of chance, a revolutionary crisis, or a battle.”
