The individual ownership of large areas of land is as unjust as the ownership of other people.

You cannot say that the existing laws regarding the possession of land are lawful. Violence, crime, and power have their source in these laws.

—HERBERT SPENCER

Private ownership of land came to be, not out of any natural relationships between people, but through robbery.

—HENRY GEORGE
