• La vida es como invadir Rusia. Un comienzo relámpago, shakos en masa, plumas bailando como un gallinero alborotado; un período de progreso esbelto registrado en despachos eufóricos a medida que el enemigo retrocede; luego el comienzo de una larga caminata que quita la moral, con raciones cada vez más cortas y los primeros copos de nieve en la cara. El enemigo quema Moscú y usted cede ante el general January, cuyas uñas son carámbanos. Amarga retirada. Cosacos hostigadores. Al final, caes bajo los disparos de un artillero mientras cruzas un río polaco que ni siquiera está marcado en el mapa de tu general.

• He had drawn many a thousand of these rations in prisons and camps, and though he'd never had an opportunity to weight them on scales, and although, being a man of timid nature, he knew no way of standing up for his rights, he, like every other prisoner, had discovered long ago that honest weight was never to be found in the bread-cutting. There was short weight in every ration. The only point was how short. So every day you took a look to soothe your soul - today, maybe, they haven't snitched any.

  Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

• A wise man once told me- he’s a muslim by the way- that he has more in common with a jew than he does a fanatic of his own religion.

In fact, he has more in common with a ration, reasonable-minded atheist than he does with a fanatic of his own religion

• Todo lo que se requería de ellos (es decir, de las masas con el cerebro lavado) era un patriotismo primitivo al que se podía apelar siempre que fuera necesario para hacerles aceptar jornadas de trabajo más largas o raciones más cortas. E incluso cuando se descontentaban, como ocurría a veces, su descontento no llevaba a ninguna parte, porque, al carecer de ideas generales, sólo podían centrarlo en pequeñas quejas específicas. Los males mayores se les escapaban invariablemente.

  George Orwell

• Freedom is not empowerment. Empowerment is what the Serbs have in Bosnia. Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It's not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights - the "right" to education, the "right" to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery - hay and a barn for human cattle.

• How, voters will ask, can we cover 50 million new people without any new doctors or nurses? The answer is to ration health care, with the U.S. government deciding whom will get hip and knee replacements, heart bypass surgery and all manner of medical treatments. And what does rationing mean? It means that the elderly will be denied care, which they can now get whenever they want it.

• It is a human circumstance that when we are born we have not yet come into existence. We are lured into our special human existence by a mothering presence that gratifies our innate urges to be suckled, held, rocked, caressed. But that same gratifying presence puts limits on desire and rations satisfaction. In this sense the mother is also the first lawgiver.
