1921-1988, British Social Historian, Critic, Novelist
It wasn't idealism that made me, from the beginning, want a more secure and rational society. It was an intellectual judgment, to which I still hold. When I was young its name was socialism. We can be deflected by names. But the need was absolute, and is still absolute.
Raymond Williams – [Socializing and Socialism]
What breaks capitalism, all that will ever break capitalism, is capitalists. The faster they run the more strain on their heart.
Raymond Williams – [Capitalism]
