The US Fed was very active in getting the gold price down. So was the U.K.

Rick SantelliMy wife says, and I agree with her, that what would be really great for Maine would be to legalize dope completely and set up dope stores the way that there are state-run liquor stores.

And people would come from all the other states to buy it, and there could be a state tax on it. Then everybody in Maine could have a Cadillac.
Stephen KingMonetary reform, if it is to be genuine and successful, must sever money and banking from politics. That's why a modern gold standard must have: no central bank; no fixed rations between gold and silver; no bail-outs; no suspension of gold payments or other bank frauds; no monetization of debt; and no inflation of the money supply, all of which have proved so disastrous in the past.
Lawrence ReedWhen does gold ore become gold? When it is put through a process of fire. So the human being during the training becomes as pure as gold through suffering.

George R. R. MartinEveryone asks about gold. This is the irony: just as Jim Grant tells us (correctly) that we all have faith-based paper currencies backed by nothing, it is equally fair to say that gold is a faith-based metal. It pays no dividend, cannot be eaten, and is mostly used for nothing more useful than jewelry. I would say that anything of which 75% sits idly and expensively in bank vaults is, as a measure of value, only one step up from the Polynesian islands that attached value to certain well-known large rocks that were traded.

Ferenc MolnarWhen I was on tour, people would say "We don't need a value-based currency, we can go out and buy gold and silver with US dollars now." I mean that it is so utterly brain dead, because they miss the whole point: the reason we need to have a gold and silver based currency is to bring discipline to the financial system so the government can't go out and do all sorts of bad things.
Bernard von NotHausI gathered up my sorrows and I sold them all for gold. And I gathered up the gold, and I threw it all away.

When he came into the Hall, he kept trying to get me to go outside with him so we could talk. He wanted something from me. I just don't know what." "Or maybe he just wanted you," Jace said. Seeing Clary's expression, he added, "Not that way. I mean maybe he wanted to bring you to Valentine.

Eoin ColferLove is the very essence of life. It is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Yet it is more than the end of the rainbow.
