Poems (1616)
“If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.”
Ronald Reagan (1911–2004) American politician, 40th president of the United States (in office from 1981 to 1989)
1960s, A Time for Choosing (1964)
Context: If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
“Down by the tracks watching trains go by
To remind me: there are places that aren't here.”
