• When we were told that by freedom we understood free enterprise, we did very little to dispel this monstrous falsehood. Wealth and economic well-being, we have asserted, are the fruits of freedom, while we should have been the first to know that this kind of happiness has been an unmixed blessing only in this country, and it is a minor blessing compared with the truly political freedoms, such as freedom of speech and thought, of assembly and association, even under the best conditions.

Políticamente hablando, es que en condiciones de terror, la mayoría de la gente acatará, pero algunos no lo harán, al igual que la lección de los países a los que se propuso la Solución Final es que "podría suceder" en la mayoría de los lugares, pero no sucedió en todas partes. Humanamente hablando, no se necesita más, y no se puede pedir más razonablemente, para que este planeta siga siendo un lugar apto para la habitación humana.
