The American people have no idea they are paying the bill. They know that someone is stealing their hubcaps, but they think it is the greedy businessman who raises prices or the selfish laborer who demands higher wages or the unworthy farmer who demands too much for his crop or the wealthy foreigner who bids up our prices. They do not realize that these groups also are victimized by a monetary system which is constantly being eroded in value by and through the Federal Reserve System.

G. Edward Griffin

When people are not given an option by some secret scoring system, it's very hard to complain, so they often don't even know that they've been victimized.

Cathy O'Neil

Purity is innocence, the innocence of lack of self. Desire is innocent unless it's connected with self.

Thomas Merton

Our system, for readily apparent reasons, is far superior to those in nations, mostly totalitarian, which presume an arrested person is guilty and place the burden on the accused to prove his innocence.

Wonder is a very subtle, precious emotion, often lost in the gross hustle and bustle of modern life. When we feel wonder, we are immediately reminded of the purity and innocence of our childhood. Then, everything was magical and mysterious. Magic should help us relive that wonder.

Doug Henning

Let the purity and innocence of a child be your one and only religion!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

The innocence of those who grind the faces of the poor, but refrain from pinching the bottoms of their neighbour's wives! The innocence of Ford, the innocence of Rockefeller! The nineteenth century was the Age of Innocence--that sort of innocence. With the result that we're now almost ready to say that a man is seldom more innocently employed than when making love.

Aldous Huxley

I have often been asked what I wanted to prove by my photographs. The answer is, I don’t want to prove anything. They prove to me, and I am the one who gets the lesson.

Lisette Model

There is an innocence or purity that we see in renewals and in the Mennonite church and a new an invigorated civil rights movement.

Shane Claiborne

Justice demands that the good and hard-working be rewarded and the evil and the lazy be punished (if only by the withholding of the rewards of doing the right things). Modern Liberalism demands that the good and hardworking be punished as the recipients of an unfair advantage and the evil and the lazy be rewarded, their acts of evil and their failure all the proof the Modern Liberal needs that somehow they have been victimized by forces out of their control.

Evan Sayet

innocence is the hardest thing to prove.

Martha Albrand

Return to the purity of your innocence where you are enchanted with life. Give love for no reason. Surround yourself with others doing the same.

Miguel Angel Ruiz

There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.

Unknown

I don't have to prove my innocence to the court or to the news media.

Corrine Brown

So the city became the material expression of a particular loss of innocence – not sexual or political innocence but somehow a shared dream of what a city might at its best prove to be – its inhabitants became, and have remained, an embittered and amnesiac race, wounded but unable to connect through memory to the moment of injury, unable to summon the face of their violator.

Thomas Pynchon
