“Socialism takes and redistributes wealth, but it is utterly incapable of creating wealth.”

Leonard E. Read (1898–1983) American academic

Anything That's Peaceful (1964)
Context: Socialism depends upon and presupposes material achievements which socialism itself can never create. Socialism is operative only in wealth situations brought about by motes of production other than its own. Socialism takes and redistributes wealth, but it is utterly incapable of creating wealth.

“It is a graph of a theme that flings
The dancer kneeling on nothing into the wings”

Richard Wilbur (1921–2017) American poet

"Grace" in The Poems of Richard Wilbur (1963)
Context: Hebetude. It is a graph of a theme that flings
The dancer kneeling on nothing into the wings,
And Nijinsky hadn't the words to make the laws
For learning to loiter in air; he merely said,
"I merely leap and pause."
