“The modern State exists not to protect our rights but to do us good or make us good - anyway, to do something to us or to make us something.

Our whole lives are their business.” MindStatesWholeNamesLeftAnimalLeaderRightsModernSubjectsProtectWhole LifeRulersPupilsOwn BusinessMind Your Own BusinessMind Your Own Author:C. S. Lewis
