“Louis XIV was very frank and sincere when he said: I am the State. The modern statist is modest. He says: I am the servant of the State; but, he implies, the State is God. You could revolt against a Bourbon king, and the French did it. This was, of course, a struggle of man against man. But you cannot revolt against the god State and against his humble handy man, the bureaucrat.” MenSaidStatesCoursesStruggleModernKingsHumbleServantSincereFrankModestRevoltBureaucratsHandyBourbon Author:Ludwig von Mises
“Death is the twin of love and mother of us all, she struggles equally for men and women and never accepts differences of caste or class. It's death that quickens us and brings us forth on sheets of love, clasped between sleep and wakefulness and barely breathing for a spell, and thus my death shall be like everybody else's death, as majestic and as pathetic as a king or a beggar's, neither more nor less.” MenDeathMotherDifferencesSleepAcceptingClassStruggleKingsMen And WomenBreathingSpellsTwinsSheetsPatheticBeggarMajesticCastes Book:Sweet Diamond Dust: And Other Stories Source: Sweet Diamond Dust: And Other Stories

“I knew she was a party girl. The book I liked most on her was called [princess] Margaret: A Life of Contrasts and getting to know her, it was how conflicted her position and her internal life - or self - was. She is so fiercely royal and so fiercely "sister of the queen" or "daughter of the king" because that is her identity and it's all she's ever known. And at the same time she is struggling to push the boundaries and to break away from it, to be different or to modernize the monarchy, to turn it on its head.” KnowsBookDifferentSelfTurnsGirlPartyKnownBreakStruggleIdentityPositionKingsDaughterBoundariesQueensInternalsPrincessContrastRoyalMonarchyParty Girl Author:Vanessa Kirby
“There never has been a desire on the part of the government that the struggle of Black people in America should be linked to the struggle of our people in every part of the earth. Every leader that was international in scope and in reach became the target of the government - Paul Robeson, Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. DuBois, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Kwame Ture and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Any Black leader who would try to connect us to our brothers and sisters in Africa and Asia were seen as a threat and became a target.” PeopleShouldTryingHas BeensGovernmentEarthAmericaDesireBlackLeaderStruggleBrotherKingsThreatInternationalTargetBlack PeopleHonorableAsiaBrothers And SistersLinkedScopeLutherMuhammadElijahElijah MuhammadHonorable Elijah MuhammadDubois Author:Louis Farrakhan
