Famous quotes containing the words state and/or house:
“We are at heart so profoundly anarchistic that the only form of state we can imagine living in is Utopian; and so cynical that the only Utopia we can believe in is authoritarian.”

“You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
