“Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king.” MenWorldHas BeensWholeBodyEarthSpiritNationsBrainMillionsMagicKingsArmyConquerHelplessBeggarChainedMagic Powers Book:Anarchism and Other Essays Source: Anarchism and Other Essays

The words Beauty, Inspiration, Magic, Spellbound, Enchantment, as well as the concepts of Serenity, Silence, Intimacy and Amazement, all these have nestled in my soul. Though I am fully aware that I have not done them complete justice in my work, they have never ceased to be my guiding lights.” WellsHas BeensSoulDoneLightInspirationImaginationJusticeSilenceMagicConceptsArchitectureMy SoulSymbolsIntimacyTouchedPoeticSerenityDevotedSublimeEnchantmentAmazementGuiding Light Author:Luis Barragan

But no child has ever seen it; neither has any voter ever lived to see the day when his taxes were lowered. Presidents have been promising lower taxes since Washington crossed the Delaware by hand in a row boat. But our taxes have gotten bigger and their boats have gotten larger until now the President crosses the Delaware in his private yacht.” ThinkingChildrenHas BeensHandsFallSoundPresidentPartyMagicTaxesCrossesBiggerBoatVotersFall BackYachtDelawareRow Boats Book:Will Rogers' Weekly Articles: The Harding Source: Will Rogers' Weekly Articles: The Harding
“Disneyworld... is a historical reconstruction as sanitised as the Kremlin's, and a future vision as uncognisant of contemporary pointers as Peter Pan's.
