"I want to say to the Taoiseach how very grateful I am for his leadership and friendship. But I must say that I was somewhat ambivalent when we were up here giving our virtual signatures. Do you have any idea how much time I spend every day signing my name? I'm going to feel utterly useless if I can't do that anymore. By the time you become the leader of a country, someone else makes all the decisions -- you just sign your name. You may find you can get away with virtual presidents, virtual prime ministers, virtual everything. Just stick a little card in and get the predictable response."
~ Bill Clinton, September 4, 1998 [Source]





"There is a new world order, like it or not!"
~ Tony Blair, November 13, 2000 [Source]





"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we!"
~ George W. Bush, August 5, 2004 [Video]





"Whatever the price of the Chinese revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose ... The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history."
~ David Rockefeller, From a China Traveler, New York Times, August 10, 1973

"Some even believe we [the Rockefellers] are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
~ David Rockefeller, Memoirs, 2002 [Scan]





"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."
~ John Adams [Source]

"If the leaders are divided into parties, will not one prevail at one year, and another the next? and will not this introduce the most wretched of servitudes, an uncertain jurisprudence?"
~ John Adams [Source]





"There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win, because it works."
~ Stephen Hawking, ABC News Interview, June 7, 2010





"Autoritätsdusel ist der größte Feind der Wahrheit."
(Rough translation: "Blind faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth.")
~ Albert Einstein, Letter to Jost Winteler, July 8, 1901





"A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing
the facts and arguments on both sides of each question."

~ Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species, 1859
[Darwin 1:16]





"I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had."

"Let's be clear: The work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus."

"There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period."

"I would remind you to notice where the claim of consensus is invoked. Consensus is invoked only in situations where the science is not solid enough. Nobody says the consensus of scientists agrees that E=mc2. Nobody says the consensus is that the sun is 93 million miles away. It would never occur to anyone to speak that way."

~ Michael Crichton, Aliens Cause Global Warming, January 17, 2003





"For the great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived, and dishonest — but the myth — persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."

~ John F. Kennedy, Yale University Commencement Address, June 11, 1962





"Something began to say to me, 'He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it'. When oppressed people willingly accept their oppression they only serve to give the oppressor a convenient justification for his acts. Often the oppressor goes along unaware of the evil involved in his oppression so long as the oppressed accepts it. So in order to be true to one’s conscience and true to god, a righteous man has no alternative but to refuse to cooperate with an evil system."
~ Martin Luther King, Stride Toward Freedom, 1958

"We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was 'legal' and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was 'illegal'. It was 'illegal' to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at the time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers."
~ Martin Luther King, Letter from Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963

---

"On some positions cowardice asks the question, 'is it safe?', expediency asks the question, 'is it politic?', vanity asks the question, 'is it popular?', but conscience asks the question, 'is it right?'. And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right."
~ Martin Luther King [Audio]





"You don’t write 'God Save The Queen' because you hate the English race. You write a song like that because you love them, and you’re fed up with them being mistreated."

~ Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols), The Filth and the Fury, 2000





"We must picture hell as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and where everyone lives in the deadly serious passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment."

"I like bats much better than bureaucrats. I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of 'Admin'. The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid 'dens of crime' that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern."






"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
~ Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom Of God Is Within You, 1894

"I know that most men — not only those considered clever, but even those who are very clever, and capable of understanding most difficult scientific, mathematical or philosophic problems — can very seldom discern even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as to oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions they have formed, perhaps with much difficulty — conclusions of which they are proud, which they have taught to others, and on which they have built their lives."
~ Leo Tolstoy, What is Art?, 1899





"He let out the amazing truth. For a very long period before the time of Our Ford, and even for some generations afterwards, erotic play between children had been regarded as abnormal (there was a roar of laughter); and not only abnormal, actually immoral (no!): and had therefore been rigorously suppressed."
~ Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, 1932

---

"Technological progress has reduced the number of physical contacts, and thus impoverished the spiritual relations between members of a community ... [It] has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards."
~ Aldous Huxley, Ends and Means, 1937





"I hate when I read things and celebrities are complaining like, 'I have no personal life!' I'm like, 'Well, that's because you write everything that you're doing!' So I was that person that's like, 'I'm so sad, I have no real, normal life! Everyone knows what I'm doing!' I'm like, 'Well, that's my fault because I'm telling everyone.' And then I tweet, 'I'm here' and then wonder why a thousand fans are outside of the restaurant. Well, Hello?! I just told them! So I was just kind of thinking that doesn't really make much sense, and everything I'm saying is not really going with what I'm putting on the internet. So yeah, kind of lame."

"I'm a lot less on my phone, I'm a little bit more social. I have a lot more real friends than friends that are on the internet that I'm talking to, which is, like, not cool, not safe, not fun, and most likely not real. I think everything is just better when you're not so wrapped up in that. I just think it's kind of lame, and I feel like I hang out with my friends, and they're so busy taking pictures of what they're doing to put on Facebook, they're not really enjoying what they're doing. And you're going to look back and have ten million pictures, but you're not in one of them because you weren't having fun, you were too busy clicking away. So I think just enjoy the moment you're in and stop telling people about it. Just enjoy it for yourself."

~ Miley Cyrus, The Last Song Interview, March 13, 2010





"So this is how liberty dies - with thunderous applause!"
~ Padmé





"People have a tendency to rationalize what they can, and forget what they can't."
~ Rupert Giles





"A person should not believe in an '-ism', he should believe in himself."
~ Ferris Bueller





"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

"From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. "Get out of here, baldy!" they said. "Get out of here, baldy!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. "

"To teach the Rockefeller drug ideology, it is necessary to teach that Nature didn't know what she was doing when she made the human body."
