“We're saying that they are more like a private board than one under exclusive control of the state.”
Dana Cody
“It is only fair to state, with regard to modern journalists, that they always apologize to one in private for what they have written against one in public”
Oscar Wilde
“The current policy is fiscally, socially and spiritually horrific. When the state goes into private homes and says, 'We're taking this kid,' it has a fundamental responsibility for the outcome, and that responsibility does not stop at some arbitrary date of age 18 and a high school diploma.”
Jim Theofelis
“All systems are capitalist. It's just a matter of who owns and controls the capital -- ancient king, dictator, or private individual. We should properly be looking at the contrast between a free market system where individuals have the right to live like kings if they have the ability to earn that right and government control of the market system such as we find today in socialist nations.”
Ronald Reagan
“I may be president of the United States, but my private life is nobody's damned business.”
Chester A. Arthur
“My thinking tends to be libertarian. That is, I oppose intrusions of the state into the private realm -- as in abortion, sodomy, prostitution, pornography, drug use, or suicide, all of which I would strongly defend as matters of free choice in a representative democracy.”
Camille Paglia
“Biographical data, even those recorded in the public registers, are the most private things one has, and to declare them openly is rather like facing a psychoanalyst.”
Italo Calvino
