J. Paul Getty > Quotes
“At odd moments, when sunk in contemplation of some cosmic navel, the vague suspicion that I am, at heart, an anarchist flashes through my mind. Not that any impulse to strew high explosives in palace gardens or parliamentary antechambers stirs within me; I certainly bear no malice whatsoever toward aged archdukes or young czarevitches.
My evanescent anarchistic tendencies are purely classical. I use the word anarchist in the sense in which it was understood by the ancient Greeks. They, of course, accepted the anarchist as a fairly respectable -- if somewhat vehement -- opponent of government encroachment on the individual's rights to think and act freely. It is in this sense that I glimpse myself as an anarchist -- regretting the growth of government and the ever increasing trend toward regulation and, worst of all, standard-ization of human activity.”
