Simone de Beauvoir

You go through a process of refinement and getting rid of the excesses of your early youth in terms of your excitement about what theatre can do.

Noam Chomsky

Where some people are very wealthy and others have nothing, the result will be either extreme democracy or absolute oligarchy, or despotism will come from either of those excesses.

Aristotle

Our tolerance of the intolerable found a low threshold as early as the late 1950s with the grotesque excesses of McCarthyism, which destroyed so many honest lives, and then with the insane nuclear arms race and confrontations.
