"Our moral traditions developed concurrently with our reason, not as its product."
Reason
"We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice."

Cause
"Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom."
