• Neither limits nor adversity are what ruin men. Under pressure, they handle themselves pretty well. It’s the lack of limits they can’t handle. That’s when they run amok. So, if you really want to see what a man is made of let him think he can get away with something.

• Printing up extra money - with no backing - used to be the sort of thing only counterfeiters did. Now it is done by the central bankers and Treasury Secretaries themselves. They don't apologize for it. They don't hang their heads and contemplate blowing their brains out. Instead, they're proud of it... announcing that they 'saved civilization,' or some such claptrap.

  Civilization, Brain, Proud

• Sólo las ideas simples pueden ser sostenidas por grandes grupos de personas. Las ideas comunes casi siempre se simplifican hasta que son prácticamente mentiras... y a menudo peligrosas. Una vez que un gran número de personas han llegado a creer la mentira, ajustan su propio comportamiento para sincronizarse con ella y, de este modo, cambian el propio mundo. El mundo, entonces, ya no se parece al que dio lugar a la idea original. Pronto, la situación de una persona está tan en desacuerdo con el mundo tal y como es en realidad que se desarrolla una crisis, y él o ella debe buscar una nueva metáfora para la explicación y la orientación.

• Recuerda, el gobierno no es una organización ilustrada diseñada para promover el bienestar público. Es una fuerza bárbara, incivilizada... poder militar y policial puesto al servicio de los que lo controlan. Sí, hay restricciones en la forma en que los de dentro utilizan su poder. Por ejemplo, hay "controles y equilibrios" en la Constitución. Y existen normas culturales y prohibiciones tradicionales. Pero con el tiempo, las normas y las tradiciones desaparecen, como los analgésicos. Y entonces, el dolor del gobierno crudo comienza de nuevo.

• Norman Rockwell spent his career painting pictures that helped people understand their own feelings...pictures that enriched their own experiences and celebrated their own lives. But the art establishment branded him an 'illustrator', a sentimental one at that. Real artists, they said were doing art for art's sake, not for the sake of the bourgeois public. Real artists were putting swiggles, smears or daubs of paint on the canvas. They were doing 'innovative' and 'creative' work. If they were hideous and grotesque; we know that's what life really is!

• La promesa del capitalismo estadounidense es que hace a la gente más rica, más libre y más independiente. Pero desde la introducción de la Fed, la moneda en la que los estadounidenses llevan la cuenta de resultados ha desvirtuado tanto las cifras que apenas sabemos si estamos ganando o perdiendo. El dólar que conocíamos cuando éramos niños, en los años 50, sólo vale hoy una décima parte.
