• A newspaper can follow the compulsions, the desires of the readers. Take the English evening newspapers - they are following the readers' desires when they are interested only in the royal family gossip. But even the most objective, serious newspaper in the world designs the way in which the reader could or should think. That's unavoidable.

• The basic drive behind real philosophy is curiosity about the world, not interest in the writings of philosophers. Each of us emerges from the preconsciousness of babyhood and simply finds himself here, in it, in the world. That experience alone astonishes some people. What is all this - what is the world? And what are we? From the beginning of humanity some have been under a compulsion to ask these questions, and have felt a craving for the answers. This is what is really meant by any such phrase as 'mankind's need for metaphysics.'

• The Constitution was definitely and specifically designed to hobble all people who are so foolish as to think themselves capable of leading others by compulsion. It so functions today to an extent exasperating to the authoritarians - which is why they want to get rid of it.

• The state is the only institution entitled to apply coercion and compulsion and to inflict harm upon individuals. This tremendous power cannot be abandoned to the discretion of some men, however competent and clever they may deem themselves. It is necessary to restrict its application. This is the task of the laws.

• To finance 'entitlement' programs, the government threatens force against the taxpayers who provide the money. Why are people who favor compulsion called humanitarians, while those who favor freedom are stigmatized as greedy?

• The freedom of individuals from compulsion or coercion never was, and is not now, the normal state of human affairs. The normal state for the ordinary person is tyranny, arbitrary control and abuse mainly by their own government.

• La guerra es un monstruo con mechones serpenteantes, ojos ardientes e inyectados en sangre y garras de arpía, que atraviesa campos hermosos y deja sus huellas en aldeas en llamas, hombres moribundos, esposas e hijos llorosos, y necesita ser vista por aquellos que tan ávidamente claman por ella en cada oportunidad. La visión de ese temible fantasma, rodeado de cráneos, cadenas hediondas de sangre y desolación y ruina a su paso, detendría su ansia por él, a menos que se vieran realmente obligados.

  Moncure D. Conway

• Una taxonomía de las capacidades, como cualquier otra taxonomía científica, puede parecer a cierto tipo de estudiantes impacientes una orgía gratuita de pedantería. Sin duda, la compulsión por la pulcritud intelectual se manifiesta a veces de forma prematura y otras de forma excesiva, pero una buena taxonomía descriptiva, como descubrió Darwin al desarrollar su teoría, y como descubrió Newton en la obra de Kepler, es la madre de leyes y teorías.

• No man may initiate the use of physical force against others. No man-or group or society or government-has the right to assume the role of a criminal and initiate the use of physical compulsion against any man. Men have the right to use physical force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. The ethical principle involved is simple and clear-cut: it is the difference between murder and self-defense.

  Ayn Rand

• Y estos grandes derechos naturales pueden reducirse a tres artículos principales o primarios: el derecho a la seguridad personal; el derecho a la libertad personal; y el derecho a la propiedad privada; porque como no hay otro método conocido de compulsión, o de coartar el libre albedrío natural del hombre, sino mediante la infracción o disminución de uno u otro de estos importantes derechos, puede decirse con justicia que la preservación de éstos, inviolados, incluye la preservación de nuestras inmunidades civiles en su sentido más amplio y extenso.
