from Davita's Harp, by Chaim Potok, page 228 wrote:

"In our time, Mr. Dinn," Jakob Daw said, "a man whose enemies are faceless bureaucrats almost never wins. It is our equivalent to the anger of the gods in ancient times. But those gods, you must understand, were far more imaginative than our bureaucrats. They spoke from mountaintops, not from tiny airless offices. They rode clouds. They were possessed of passion. They had voices and names. Six thousand years of civilization have brought us to this."

Charles Lane wrote:

Lane described the state in terms of institutionalized violence and referred to its "club law, its mere brigand right of a strong arm, [supported] by guns and bayonets." "Everyone can see that the church is wrong when it comes to men with the [B]ible in one hand, and the sword in the other." "Is it not equally diabolical for the state to do so?"
Lane believed that governmental rule was only tolerated by public opinion because the fact was not yet recognized that all the true purposes of the state could be carried out on the voluntary principle, just as churches could be sustained voluntarily. "Let us have a voluntary State as well as a voluntary Church, and we may possibly then have some claim to the appeallation of free men."

--Charles Lane (1800-1870) was friendly with Amos Bronson Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Thoreau. Between January and June 1843 a series of nine letters he penned were published in such abolitionist’s papers as The Liberator and The Herald of Freedom. --via Wikipedia

Government is the only institution that can take a perfectly good piece of paper, print some noble words on it, and make it perfectly worthless.
