“Put in hours and hours of planning, figure everything down to the last detail, then what? Burglar alarms start going off all over the place for no sensible reason.

—Ben Maddow (1909–1992)

“A perfect personality ... is only possible in a state of society where man is free to choose the mode of work, the conditions of work, and the freedom to work.

—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

“They have a right to censure that have a heart to help: the rest is cruelty, not justice.”
—William Penn (1644–1718)

“It has no future but itself—
Its infinite contain
Its past—enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.”

“Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give.”
—United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989.
