The modern State exists not to protect our rights but to do us good or make us good - anyway, to do something to us or to make us something.

There is nothing left of which we can say to them, 'Mind your own business.' Our whole lives are their business.

Remember He is the artist and you are only the picture. You can't see it.

Walk---don't keep on looking at it.
