[Socialists claim] that we reject fraternity, solidarity, organization, and association; and they brand us with the name of individualists. We can assure them that what we repudiate is not natural organization, but forced organization. It is not free association, but the forms of association that they would impose upon us. It is not spontaneous fraternity, but legal fraternity. It is not providential solidarity, but artificial solidarity, which is only an unjust displacement of responsibility. Socialism. . . confounds Government and society.

[Louis Brandeis] believes in natural rights of speech and liberty and the right to pursue happiness.
There is one, and only one solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world, and train all our young people to help. They want to; we need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities, stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience.
Most do violence to their natural aptitude, and thus attain superiority in nothing.
If you're asking if my breasts are natural, yes, this is how I've looked since I was 13 years old.
Just as war is the natural consequence of monopoly, peace is the natural consequence of liberty.
