I, Pencil
This is a part of the list of read books which I maintain. See all of them. You can only find here a blob of notes from the book itself and some thoghts on them. More often than not the actual book is more useful than what you can see here.
Title: I, Pencil: My Family Tree Author: Leonard Edward Read
One can't expect to make an omelet without breaking eggs
Here lies a contrivance engineered by know-it-alls who broke eggs with abandon but never, ever created an omelet
None of the Robespierres of the world knew how to make a pencil, yet they wanted to remake entire societies. How utterly preposterous, and mournfully tragic
free people accomplish economic miracles of which socialist theoreticians can only dream
Writing is both my vocation and my avocation; that's all I do
Since only God can make a tree, I insist that only God could make me
a faith in free people. Freedom is impossible without this faith
