Taxation is robbery based on monopoly of weapons
Robert Anton Wilson
Image
Philosophy should always know that indifference is a militant thing. It batters down the walls of cities and murders the women and children amid the flames and the purloining of altar vessels. When it goes away it leaves smoking ruins, where lie citizens bayonetted through the throat. It is not a children's pastime like mere highway robbery.
Stephen Crane
Image
I am convinced that if all men were to live as simply as I then did, thieving and robbery would be unknown. These take place only in communities where some have got more than is sufficient while others have not enough.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Our laws make law impossible our liberties destroy all freedom our property is organized robbery our morality an impudent hypocrisy our wisdom is administered by inexperienced or mal-experienced dupes our power wielded by cowards and weaklings and our honour false in all its points. I am an enemy of the existing order for good reasons
George Bernard Shaw
Image
Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
Of all crimes the worst Is to steal the glory From the great and brave, Even more accursed Than to rob the grave.
Robert Frost
Image
Tangier is one of the few places left in the world where, so long as you don't proceed to robbery, violence, or some form of crude, antisocial behavior, you can do exactly what you want.
William S. Burroughs
Image
Prostitution and robbery are two living protests, respectively female and male, made by the natural state against the social state.
Honore de Balzac
Image
You don't write a novel out of sheer pity any more than you blow a safe out of a vague longing to be rich. A certain ruthlessness and a sense of alienation from society is as essential to creative writing as it is to armed robbery.
Nelson Algren
Image
I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses Can't define how I be dropping these mockeries. Lyrically perform armed robbery, Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me.
Inspectah Deck
Image
Wealth is not the fruit of labor but the result of organized protected robbery.
Frantz Fanon
Image
The '80s to me, more than anything else, represents a time of real criminal activity in the office of the president: an incredibly disparate economy in terms of the class distinctions and whatnot, and a tremendous shallowness - a lot of sort of bank robbery by executives.
Martha Plimpton
Image
The essays in The Great Taos Bank Robbery were my project to win a Master of Arts degree in English when I quit being a newspaper editor and went back to college.
Tony Hillerman
Image
We are the victims of the world's most comprehensive robbery. Life demands a balance. It's all right if we do a little robbing now.
Maya Angelou
Image
You can easily die racing to cover a bank robbery as you can in a war zone.
Jessica Savitch
Image
The first part of a good work is the will, the second is vigorous effort in the doing of it. God is the author of both. It is, therefore, robbery from God to arrogate anything to ourselves, either in the will or the act.
John Calvin
Image
For a startling period of my life, I reported the Troubles in Ireland for the BBC. I lived in Dublin and was called out to all sorts of incidents that, if taken together, add up to a war - bombings, assassinations, riots, shootings, robberies, jailbreaks, kidnappings, and sieges.
Frank Delaney
Image
Interest is theft, Rent Robbery, and Profit Only Another Name for Plunder.
Ezra Heywood
Image
Dancing is like bank robbery, it takes split-second timing.
Twyla Tharp
Image
I think it's more normal to make a movie dealing with love, sexual or not, than to make movies about bank robberies, which very rarely happen in real life. So I would say the problem is not what some people feel is normal, I would say the problem is why this whole industry is far more obsessed with filming scenes of dominance, guns, invasion.
Gaspar Noe
Image
I would no more teach children military training than teach them arson, robbery, or assassination.
Eugene V. Debs
Image
Thieves for their robbery have authority When judges steal themselves.
William Shakespeare
Image
This is what it is the business of the artist to do. Art is theft, art is armed robbery, art is not pleasing your mother.
Janet Malcolm
Image
A lot of deaths feel sad. Philip Seymour Hoffman's feels like a robbery.
