Christopher Hitchens -

 Islamophobia… A word created by Fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons.

G.K. Chesterton -

 The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected.

Plato -

 One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.

Ayn Rand -

When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - 

When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors -

When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you -

When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - 

 You may know that your society is doomed.

Leon Uris "The Haj" -

 This is the way it is with Arabs,” Ibrahim said.

“First comes my brother and I against our father; then my father and I and my brother against our cousins; then our cousins and we against the stranger.

That is the way it has always been with us. Me against my brother; my brother and me against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel.”

George Orwell -

 The truth is that to many people, calling themselves Socialists, revolution does not mean a movement of the masses with which they hope to associate themselves; it means a set of reforms which "we," the clever ones, are going to impose on "them," the Lower Orders.

Goebbels -

 If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Ronald Coase -

 If you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything.
