“The only coöperation which is commonly possible is exceedingly partial and superficial; and what little true coöperation there is, is as if it were not, being a harmony inaudible to men.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.”
