More From Friedrich August Von Hayek

I believe there are a lot of questions today that require expert analysis by various agencies: political agencies, foreign ministries, economic agencies and security agencies. we need to assess everything and understand what we can agree on and what the implications will be both for japan and for russia so that both the russian people and the japanese people come to the conclusion that these compromise solutions are acceptable and are in our countries' interests.

I define anarchist society as one where there is no legal possibility for coercive aggression against the person or property of any individual. anarchists oppose the state because it has its very being in such aggression, namely, the expropriation of private property through taxation, the coercive exclusion of other providers of defense service from its territory, and all of the other depredations and coercions that are built upon these twin foci of invasions of individual rights.

It is no surprise that the republican-controlled senate intelligence committee has once again caved in to the wishes of the white house and refused even to open an investigation. we cannot effectively legislate on the nsa spying issue if we do not know the facts, and we will not know them if the republican-controlled intelligence committee persists in refusing to do its job.

[regarding legislative assemblies,] the number ought at most to be kept within a certain limit, in order to avoid the confusion and intemperance of a multitude. in all very numerous assemblies, of whatever characters composed, passion never fails to wrest the scepter from reason. had every athenian citizen been a socrates, every athenian assembly would still have been a mob.

No individual or private group or private organization has the legal power to initiate the use of physical force against other individuals or groups and to compel them to act against their own voluntary choice. only a government holds that power. the nature of governmental action is: coercive action. the nature of political power is: the power to force obedience under threat of physical injury-the threat of property expropriation, imprisonment, or death.

I've come to a much more controlled idea about death and loss, but i don't think it's possible to come to that much more controlled idea until you've gone through the crazy part . . . i don't mean that i'm controlled. i mean that i gave up the idea that i had control. that's the new control.

Negative feelings are in you, not in reality. stop trying to change reality. that's crazy! stop trying to change the other person. we spend all our time and energy trying to change external circumstances, trying to change our spouses, our bosses, our friends, our enemies, and everybody else. we don't have to change anything. negative feelings are in you.

I hope my talent has something to do with it. i just think this business is so crazy. i obviously do the best i can, and the directors i admire see something in me. but this is a strange business, and there are people who are incredibly talented who never make it, who never get these opportunities. so that's why i say i'm lucky. i don't feel that i'm not talented - i think i am talented - but i also think i'm very lucky.
