Patrick HenryWe could still have continued the arms race, but the arms race was pointless, and it was another reason we decided to start perestroika. It was senseless to continue to accumulate weapons. We had enough weapons to destroy life on Earth 1,000 times, and therefore it was very clear to us that the arms race could spiral out of control. A conflict could have started, as both the Americans and the Soviets realized, not out of a wrong political decision but because of a failure in the command-and-control systems.

Richelle MeadCertainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced.

In doing so, you can never expect to succeed in your contest.

Robert SmithSomething must always remain that eludes us ... For power to have an object on which it can be exercised, a space in which to stretch out its arms ...

And every evening I, too, abandon myself to reading, like that distant unknown woman.
