Mahatma Gandhi

One of the popular views in the liberal circles of the West is that we are actually 'all victims of capitalism'. I disagree. This savage global capitalism is only one of the most terrible bi-products of the dominant Western culture of racism, greed, brutality and unbridled desire to control the world.

Susan Nagel

No enemy is indeed so terrible as a man of genius.

Benjamin Disraeli
