“As Baskerville points out, wherever fatherhood is discarded or diminished, we find “impoverished, crime-ridden and drug-infested matriarchies.” Taking on the role of proprietor, the state becomes the father under such “matriarchies.” According to Baskerville, “Without paternal authority, adolescents run wild, and society descends into chaos.” Quite naturally, the state has an ever-increasing reason to intervene in such a society – and inevitably, in the economy. What many defenders of capitalism have failed to understand is the connection between paternal authority and the free market. They have failed to understand that the erosion of patriarchy signifies the rise of a leviathan state (i.e., ever increasing government controls on the economy, and socialism).”

“No había que lamentar nada del pasado . Era de lamentar lo de ahora, lo de hoy, todas estas horas y días que yo iba perdiendo, que yo en mi soledad iba sufriendo, que ya no traían ni dones agradables ni conmociones profundas. Pero gracias a Dios, no dejaba también de haber excepciones: aveces, aunque raras , había tambien horas que traían hondas sacudidas y dones divinos, horas demoledoras, que a mí, extraviado, volvían a transportarme junto al palpitante corazón del mundo.”
