“Money is created when banks lend it into existence. When a bank provides you with a $100,000 mortgage, it creates only the principal, which you spend and which then circulates in the economy. The bank expects you to pay back $200,000 over the next 20 years, but it doesn't create the second $100,000 - the interest. Instead, the bank sends you out into the tough world to battle against everybody else to bring back the second $100,000.” - Bernard Lietaer
“Nothing is more difficult for man than to apprehend a thing impersonally.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
“Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.” - Mark Twain
“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” - Thomas Jefferson
“Trusted third parties are lawyer magnets.” - Nick Szabo
“You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” - The Dark Knight
“Quantitative easing is universal basic income for rich people.” - Travis Kling
“Do not talk about giftedness, inborn talents! One can name great men of all kinds who were very little gifted. They acquired greatness, became 'geniuses'.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
“If I wanted to shake this tree with my hands I should be unable to do it. But the wind, which we cannot see, torments it and bends it where it wishes. It is invisible hands that torment and bend us the worst.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
“If you want to rise high, use your own legs! Do not let yourselves be carried up, do not sit on the backs and heads of strangers!” - Friedrich Nietzsche
“Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.” - Hunter S Thompson
“It is the media that controls the boundaries of what is politically permissible, so better to change the media. Profit motives work against it, but if we can have the audience understand that most other forms of journalism are not credible, then it may be a forced move.” - Julian Assange
“Our character is determined even more by the lack of certain experiences than by that which we experience.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
“There’s a big difference between keeping the peace, which is something folks do pretty well themselves, and enforcing the law, which is another thing altogether.” - L. Neil Smith

“The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” - Malcolm X
“The fact is - and this is something the state worshippers are prone to overlook - that the comforts, emoluments, and adulation that go with political office have great influence on political policy; for the state consists of men, and men are, unfortunately, always human. And so, liberalism mutated into its exact opposite by the end of the nineteenth century. Today it is the synonym of statism.” - Frank Chodorov
“There are very naive peoples and men who believe that continual fine weather is something desirable.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“Of all debts men are least willing to pay the taxes. What a satire is this on government! Everywhere they think they get their money’s worth, except for these.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
