I'd like to meet:

"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring."
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
-Benjamin Franklin

"The poor complain. They always do.
But that's just idle chatter.
Our system brings rewards to all.
At least to all who matter."
-Gerald Helleiner on the subject of Corporate Globalization

""If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."
-Noam Chomsky

"It is interesting to speculate how it developed that in two of the most anti-feminist institutions, the church and the law court, the men are wearing dresses."
