• Enforcing equality to compensate for the monstrous unfairness of nature destroys liberty.
  But total liberty leads to various forms of "aristocracy" and decay.
  Yet total equality leads to oppressive statism and decay.

• When I got the women's marathon into the Olympics and we had races all over the world I thought, 'That's great, now we're heading towards total equality.'
