Virginia Durr Quotes & Sayings

Etatism by no means aims at the formal transformation of all ownership of the means of production into State ownership by a complete overthrow of the established legal system. Only the biggest industrial, mining, and transport enterprises are to be nationalized; in agriculture, and in medium- and small-scale industry, private property is nominally to continue.

His favorite people were, after all, the most broken among us - the outcasts, the misfits, the sick, and, yes, the addicts. — Barbara Cofer Stoefen

Do I like living with Daniel's family? No. Would I ever tell him that? No. I know I'm all about honesty and saying what I think, but sometimes people are more important than the truth. — Linda Gerber
