More quotes by J. Paul Getty
I grew up in a show business family, so we've always had a great sense of balance, being so close to my parents. I've always known what is and isn't reality.

I was moving about with my own gang, the skinheads, wearing steel-toed army boots and kicking in shop windows.

– Vaclav Havel
More quotes by Vaclav Havel
But there is something seriously problematic about radicals and progressives in American politics. Some say it's the two-party system that squashes third parties. Some say that it's the potentiality or expanse of the middle class that marginalizes people that want to reform the system itself. Some make a sort of psychological analysis, that the left doesn't want to win, that success means co-optation. All of those things have some merit.
– Tom Hayden
