Bookish Quotes
"I do love secondhand books that open to the page some previous owner read oftenest. The day Hazlitt came, he opened to 'I hate to read new books,' and I hollered 'Comrade!' to whoever owned it before me."

Journal Entry 4 by 
I started this over the weekend. I have been very politically active lately and decided it was about time I sat down and read this. So far, I have found it very interesting. Especially when you compare, the statements/points made throughout the book, to the state of affairs currently. For instance:========================================================= "It seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not, of establishing good government from reflection and choice. But reflective men know that politics cannot ignore the role of "accident and force" in human affairs, and should anticipate the threats that will, inevitably, be posed by "accident and force". Safety from external danger is the most powerful director of national conduct. Even the ardent love of liberty will, after a time, give way to its dictates." ========================================================= "If it is to be good government, it must be capable not only of responding to majority will BUT OF SECURING THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS AND MINORITIES, thus achieving the COMMON good." (I thought this one was especially important to remember) ========================================================= (and this one) "In order for government to be "good" it should be worthy of CHOICE." ========================================================= I'm sure I will be posting more... Peace and Happy Bookcrossing!!! |
