—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Anarchism is a game at which the police can beat you.”

“Laughing at someone else is an excellent way of learning how to laugh at oneself; and questioning what seem to be the absurd beliefs of another group is a good way of recognizing the potential absurdity of many of ones own cherished beliefs.”
