From creation to decay
Like bubbles on a river
Sparkling, bursting, borne away."
- Shelley.
"I love waves and winds and storms,
Everything almost
Which is Nature's and maybe
Untainted by man's misery."
- Shelley.

"Only kind of freedom which is undesirable is that which diminishes the freedom of others"
"Holders of power, always and everywhere are indifferent to the good or evil of those who have no power, except in so far as they are restrained by fear."
"Where any large group is basically out of sympathy with the rest of the citizens of the state, democracy is apt to become unworkable, except by a use of force which will produce great discontent in the subordinate group, and a harsh temper in the dominant group"
"Any set of men, entrusted with power over others, will abuse their power unless they have reason to fear that they may lose it."
