David Perell (quoting an author): “If you want to write a good book, write about the things you don’t want others to know about you. If you want to write a great book, write about the things you don’t want to know about yourself.”
Hayek: “The whole history of the development of popular institutions is a history of the continuous struggle to prevent particular groups from abusing the governmental apparatus for the benefit of the collective interest of these groups.” [via CafeHayek]
John Adams, writing in 1815: “What do We mean by the Revolution? The War? That was no part of the Revolution. It was only an Effect and Consequence of it. The Revolution was in the Minds of the People, and this was effected, from 1760 to 1775, in the course of fifteen Years before a drop of blood was drawn at Lexington.” (via CafeHayek)
