— Gilbert K. Chesterton"All the controversialists who have become conscious of the real issue are already saying of our ideal exactly what used to be said of the Socialists' ideal.

They are saying that the idea of ordinary men owning ordinary possessions is against the laws of political economy and requires an alteration in human nature."
