“If literature is to transcend political interference and return to being a testimony of man and his existential predicament, it needs first to break away from ideology. To be without "isms," is to return to the individual and to return to viewing the world through the eyes of the writer, an individual who relies on his own perceptions and does not act as a spokesman for the people. The people already have rulers and election campaigners speaking in their name.” PeopleIfsMenWorldNeedsFirstsDoeEyePoliticalLiteratureNamesIndividualBreakReturnPerceptionElectionIdeologyRelyRulersExistentialTestimonyInterferenceThrough The EyesIsmsPredicaments Author:Gao Xingjian
“Private property creates for the individual a sphere in which he is free of the state. It sets limits to the operation of the authoritarian will. It allows other forces to arise side by side with and in opposition to political power. It thus becomes the basis of all those activities that are free from violent interference on the part of the state. It is the soil in which the seeds of freedom are nurtured and in which the autonomy of the individual and ultimately all intellectual and material progress are rooted.” StatesPoliticalIndividualForceSidesProgressMaterialsActivityLimitsIntellectualBasesPropertySeedsViolentAriseOperationsSoilOppositionSpheresRootedAutonomyInterferencePrivate PropertyPolitical Power Author:Ludwig von Mises
