The most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best. Thomas Sowell
The basic question of every revolution is that of state power. Unless this question is understood, there can be no intelligent participation in the revolution, not to speak of guidance of the revolution. The highly remarkable feature of our revolution is that it has brought about dual power. Vladimir Lenin
The basic question 'will I obey Christ 's teaching?' is rarely taken as a serious issue. For example, to take one of Jesus' commands, that is relevant to contemporary life, I don't know of any church that actually teaches a church how to bless people who curse them, yet this is a clear command. Dallas Willard
When we build a city we must answer the most basic question as for any type of project: who is the master whom we have to serve? Constantinos Apostolou Doxiadis
