Ivan Illich quote about development and underdevelopmentCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The goals of development are always and everywhere stated in terms of consumer value packages standardized around the North Atlantic-and therefore always and everywhere imply more privileges for a few... Underdevelopment is the result of a state of mind common to both socialist and capitalist countries. Present development goals are neither desirable nor reasonable. Unfortunately antiimperialism is no antidote." Ivan Illich

"It is our stories that will recreate us, when we are torn, hurt, even destroyed. It is the storyteller, the dream-maker, the myth-maker, that is our phoenix, that represents us at our best, and at our most creative." Doris Lessing

Fred Hoyle quote about greatness and the cultural conditions needed to fulfill potentialCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"It is a mistake to imagine that potentially great men are rare. It is the conditions that permit the promise of greatness to be fulfilled that are rare. What is so difficult to achieve is the cultural background that permits potential greatness to be converted into actual greatness." Fred Hoyle

"You do that stupid thing at 12 years old when you say something and it kind of sticks with you for the rest of your life. So, I believe I said I wanted to be a fishery manager. In hindsight, I think acting could be a better route." Tom Felton

Bertrand Russell quote about love, hatred, tolerance, and living togetherCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Love is wise; hatred is foolish. In this world, which is getting more and more closely interconnected, we have to learn to tolerate each other, we have to learn to put up with the fact that some people say things that we don't like. We can only live together in that way. But if we are to live together, and not die together, we must learn a kind of charity and a kind of tolerance, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet." Bertrand Russell

Eisenhower quote about freedom, tyranny, censorship, and the defense of libertyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"But we know that freedom cannot be served by the devices of the tyrant. As it is an ancient truth that freedom cannot be legislated into existence, so it is no less obvious that freedom cannot be censored into existence. And any who act as if freedoms defenses are to be found in suppression and suspicion and fear confess a doctrine that is alien to America." Eisenhower

Theodore Dalrymple quote about freedom, self-determination, and the complexities of human existenceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/

"The idea that freedom is merely the ability to act upon one's whims is surely very thin and hardly begins to capture the complexities of human existence; a man whose appetite is his law strikes us not as liberated but enslaved." Theodore Dalrymple

Samuel Adams quote about freedom as an inalienable giftCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of Almighty God, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave." Samuel Adams

Robert A. Heinlein quote about the value and cost of things in lifeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"There is an old song which asserts 'the best things in life are free.' Not true! Utterly false! This was the tragic fallacy which brought on the decadence and collapse of the democracies of the twentieth century; those noble experiments failed because the people had been led to believe that they could simply vote for whatever they wanted...and get it without toil, without sweat, without tears. Nothing of value is free. Even the breath of life is purchased at birth only through gasping effort and pain." Robert A. Heinlein

"It is not unfrequent to hear men declaim loudly upon liberty, who, if we may judge by the whole tenor of their actions, mean nothing else by it but their own liberty, to oppress without control or the restraint of laws all who are poorer or weaker than themselves." Samuel Adams

Noam Chomsky quote about student debt as a lifelong trapCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"Debt is a trap, especially student debt, which is enormous, far larger than credit card debt. It's a trap for the rest of your life because the laws are designed so that you can't get out of it. If a business, say, gets in too much debt, it can declare bankruptcy, but individuals can almost never be relieved of student debt through bankruptcy." Noam Chomsky

Bill Cooper quote about social welfare programs and political powerCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
0 Comments
"The social welfare program is nothing more than an open-ended credit balance system which creates a false capital industry to give nonproductive people a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. This can be useful, however, because the recipients become state property in return for the “gift,” a standing army for the elite. For he who pays the piper picks the tune." Bill Cooper
