David Halberstam: Bart Giamatti...

Bart Giamatti did not grow up (as he had dreamed) to play second base for the Red Sox. He became a professor at Yale, and then, in time ... president of the National Baseball League. He never lost his love for the Boston Red Sox. It was as a Red Sox fan, he later realized that human beings are fallen, and that life is filled with disappointment. The path to comprehending Calvinism in modern America, he decided, begins at Fenway Park.

Murray N. Rothbard: If a...

If a man has the right to self-ownership, to the control of his life, then in the real world he must also have the right to sustain his life by grappling with and transforming resources; he must be able to own the ground and the resources on which he stands and which he must use. In short, to sustain his human right-or his property rights in his own person-he must also have the property right in the material world, in the objects which he produces.
/Murray N. Rothbard/

Not even a suicide does away with himself out of desperation, he considers the act so long and so deliberately, that he kills himself with thinking - one could barely call it suicide since it is thinking which takes his life. He does not kill himself with deliberation but rather kills himself because of deliberation.
/Soren Kierkegaard/
