Henry David Thoreau:By avarice and selfishness,

henry david thoreau | selfishness, | property, | husbandry | regarding | landscape | acquiring | groveling | deformed, | property

By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber.
by Henry David Thoreau


George Bernard Shaw:Our laws make law

george bernard shaw | mal-experienced | inexperienced | administered | impossible; | hypocrisy; | weaklings; | organized | liberties | morality

Our laws make law impossible; our liberties destroy all freedom; our property is organized robbery; our morality an impudent hypocrisy; our wisdom is administered by inexperienced or mal-experienced dupes; our power wielded by cowards and weaklings; and our honour false in all its points. I am an enemy of the existing order for good reasons.
by George Bernard Shaw
