Quote by David Mamet
One person may need (or want) more leisure, another more work one more adventure, another more security, and so on. It is this diversity that makes a country, indeed a state, a city, a church, or a family, healthy. 'One-size-fits-all,' and that size determined by the State has a name, and that name is 'slavery.'
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of embracing diversity in the desires and needs of individuals within a society. It suggests that forcing everyone to conform to a singular standard set by the government or any authoritative entity is a form of slavery, as it denies people the opportunity to pursue their own interests and goals. The quote highlights the idea that a healthy and thriving community, whether it be a country, state, city, church, or family, is one that respects and accommodates the diverse aspirations and preferences of its members.
