"She was a prolific author in her own right and, along with Isabel Patterson and Ayn Rand, one of the three godmothers of modern libertarianism. Lane's The Discovery of Freedom: Man's Struggle Against Authority remains a powerful statement about the evolution and necessity of individual rights."

Autobiographical summary of the events in LeFevre's life that led to the founding of the Freedom School
"... Laura Ingalls married a man named Wilder and Rose Wilder was their daughter. Later Rose married a man named Lane, hence, the name ... Rose clearly inherited her mother's talent for expression. 'Discovery' was a book that was so enthralling I read it through at one sitting. Perhaps more than any other single factor it was this book which provided motivation for me in what was to follow."
