As for society, I believe in it. When a young woman, I went out a good deal myself. I don’t think society means what some rich people would have us believe. I’d get very tired of living in one of those great houses in New York, going out all night and sleeping all day. They don’t have any real pleasure. It’s intercourse with people that I like. Hetty Howland Robinson Green

I believe that if the people of this nation fully understood what Congress has done to them over past forty-nine years, they would move on Washington. It adds up to a preconceived plan to destroy the economic and social independence of the United States. George Malone
U.S. Senator, Nevada, speaking before Congress in 1957

Contributions and expenditures both involve core First Amendment expression because they further the discussion of public issues and debate on the qualifications of candidates integral to the operation of the system of government established by our Constitution.

Clarence Thomas
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, in Colorado Republican Campaign Cmte v. F.E.C. 518 U.S. 604 (1996).

G. B. Shaw to William Douglas Home: ‘Go on writing plays, my boy. One of these days a London producer will go into his office and say to his secretary, `Is there a play from Shaw this morning?’ and when she says `No,’ he will say, `Well, then we’ll have to start on the rubbish.’ And that’s your chance, my boy.’ George Bernard Shaw
Playwright, 1856-1950
