Dwight Macdonald
Dwight Macdonald was an American writer, philosopher, and social critic.
- "By 'socialism' I mean a classless society in which the State has disappeared, production is cooperative, and no man [sic] has political or economic power over another. The touchstone would be the extent to which each individual could develop his [or her] own talents and personality." --"The Root is Man"

- "By Love Possessed enriched my vocabulary, or more precisely, added to it."
- "Charlton Heston throws all his punches in the first 10 minutes (3 grimaces and 2 intonations) so that he has nothing left long before he stumbles to the end, 4 hours later, and has to react to the Crucifixion. (He does make it clear, I must admit, that he quite disapproves of it.)"
