• Los que gobiernan formalmente reciben sus señales y órdenes no del electorado como cuerpo, sino de un pequeño grupo de hombres. A este grupo se le llamará el Establishment. Existe aunque su existencia se niegue rotundamente. Es uno de los secretos del orden social americano... Un segundo secreto es el hecho de que la existencia del Establishment -la clase dominante- no debe ser discutida.

  Arthur Miller

  Men, Order, Class

• Love is a command, not just a feeling. Somehow, in the romantic world of music and theater we have made love to be what it is not. We have so mixed it with beauty and charm and sensuality and contact that we have robbed it of its higher call of cherishing and nurturing.

  Ravi Zacharias

• Most men appear to think that the art of despotic government is statesmanship, and what men affirm to be unjust and inexpedient in their own case they are not ashamed of practicing towards others; they demand just rule for themselves, but where other men are concerned they care nothing about it. Such behavior is irrational; unless the one party is, and the other is not, born to serve, in which case men have a right to command, not indeed all their fellows, but only those who are intended to be subjects; just as we ought not to hunt mankind, whether for food or sacrifice . .

  Aristotle

  never make copies, only human beings make copies. Computers are given
  commands, not permission. Only people can be given permission.

• Our search for such [moral] principles can start with . . . the unconditional imperative to acknowledge every person as a person. If we ask for the contents given by this absolute, we find, first, something negative-the command not to treat a person as a thing. This seems little, but it is much. It is the core of the principle of justice.

  Paul Tillich
