Famous quotes containing the words state and/or capital:
“... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Many of us do not believe in capital punishment, because thus society takes from a man what society cannot give.”
