    —Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    “We have passed the time of ... the laisser-faire [sic] school which believes that the government ought to do nothing but run a police force.”

    “While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.”
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
