“…the country will have much more but it will never be a consumer society.  It will be a society of knowledge, of culture, of the most extraordinary human development imaginable, development in art, culture, science [...] with a breadth of liberty that no one will be able to dismantle.  We know this already, we don’t need to proclaim it, but it is worth remembering.“

"
