Quotes: Health Care, Social Order, and a Curious Confusion

"America's health care system is neither healthy, caring, nor a system." Walter Cronkite

"A good social order aligns self-interest with social interest." Alex Tabarrok via Harrison

"By a curious confusion, many modern critics have passed from the proposition that a masterpiece may be unpopular to the other proposition that unless it is unpopular it cannot be a masterpiece." G. K. Chesterton

  1. Thanks to Curtis, I came across this gem by Chesterton:

    "No one has even begun to understand [male] comradeship who does not accept with it a certain hearty eagerness in eating, drinking, or smoking, an uproarious materialism which to many women appears only hoggish. You may call the thing an orgy or a sacrament; it is certainly an essential."
