Quote by William Hague

The EU is not a country and it's not going to become a country, in my view, now or ever in the future. It is a group of countries working together.

The EU is not a country and it's not going to become a count

Summary

This quote emphasizes the clear distinction between the European Union (EU) and a nation-state. It suggests that the EU should not be seen as a fully-fledged country and dismisses any prospects of it evolving into one. Instead, it asserts that the EU is an association of cooperating countries. By highlighting this distinction, the quote challenges any notions that the EU's purpose ultimately extends beyond collaboration between its member states.

This means we must subject the machine technology to control

This means we must subject the machine technology to control and cease despoiling the earth and filling people with goodies merely to make money. The search of the young today is more specific than the ancient search for the Holy Grail. The search of the youth today is for ways and means to make the machine and the vast bureaucracy of the corporation state and of government that runs that machine the servant of man. That is the revolution that is coming. That revolution now that the people hold the residual powers of government need not be a repetition of 1776. It could be a revolution in the nature of an explosive political regeneration. It depends on how wise the Establishment is. If, with its stockpile of arms, it resolves to suppress the dissenters, America will face, I fear, an awful ordeal.

William O. Douglas

If we submit everything to reason our religion will be left

If we submit everything to reason our religion will be left with nothing mysterious or supernatural. If we offend the principles of reason our religion will be absurd and ridiculous . . . There are two equally dangerous extremes: to exclude reason, to admit nothing but reason.
