"I don’t know whether Napoleon did or did not try to get across there and I don’t care. I don’t know much about history, and I wouldn’t give a nickel for all the history in the world.

"The conviction that it is important to believe this or that, even if a free inquiry would not support the belief, is one which is common to almost all religions and which inspires all systems of state education...A habit of basing convictions upon evidence, and of giving to them only that degree of certainty which the evidence warrants, would, if it became general, cure most of the ills from which the world is suffering. But at present, in most countries, education aims at preventing the growth of such a habit, and men who refuse to profess belief in some system of unfounded dogmas are not considered suitable as teachers of the young… The world that I should wish to see would be one freed from the virulence of group hostilities and capable of realizing that happiness for all is to be derived rather from cooperation than from strife. I should wish to see a world in which education aimed at mental freedom rather than at imprisoning the minds of the young in a rigid armor of dogma calculated to protect them through life against the shafts of impartial evidence. The world needs open hearts and open minds, and it is not through rigid systems, whether old or new, that these can be derived." Bertrand Russell
Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky about self-deception, truth, respect, and loveCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices. And it all comes from lying — to others and to yourself." Fjodor Dostojewski
/
"There is no way to prevent the final collapse of a boom generated by credit expansion. The only alternative is either an earlier crisis resulting from the voluntary termination of credit expansion, or a later, final, and total catastrophe for the currency system involved." Ludwig von Mises
/
"The FDA receives 45% of its annual budget from the pharmaceutical industry. The World Health Organization (WHO) gets roughly 50% of its budget from private sources, including Big Pharma and its allied foundations. And the CDC, frankly, is a vaccine company; it owns 56 vaccine patents and buys and (very profitably) distributes $4.6 billion in vaccines annually through the Vaccines for Children program, which represents over 40% of its total budget." Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
/
"The core of science is not controlled experiment or mathetical modeling; it is intellectual honesty. It is time we acknowledge a basic feature of human discourse: when considering the truth of a proposition, one is either engaged in an honest appraisal of the evidence and logical arguments, or one isn't." Sam Harris
/
"There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it." Aldous Huxley
/
"No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power." Jacob Bronowski
/
"I am waiting for a classic so-called inactivated vaccine, which I would definitely get vaccinated with. I find the pressure currently being exerted on the unvaccinated unspeakable and incompatible with a free society. At most, the unvaccinated endanger themselves and other unvaccinated people. A society that treats unvaccinated people like pariahs would soon have to ban smoking and alcohol consumption, not to mention dangerous hobbies such as climbing or skydiving. That is the path to a health dictatorship, which we will hopefully never become." Sahra Wagenknecht
/
"Whoever has the power in society determines what can be studied, determines what can be observed, determines what can be thought. Scientists fall in line with the dominant power structure. They have to because the power structure pays the bills." Danny Minot
/
"There are two histories: the official history, the false one that is taught, the history ‘ad usum delphini’; and then the secret history, which reveals the true causes of events, a shameful history." Honoré de Balzac
/
"…life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies…Because the regime is captive to its own lies it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics." Vaclav Havel
/
"Jesuits so dominated the study of earthquakes that seismology became known as ‚the Jesuit Science.’" Thomas E. Woods Jr.
/
"The mRNA vaccines are an example of cell and gene therapy. If we had conducted a public survey two years ago and asked who would be willing to undergo gene or cell therapy and have it injected into their body, 95 percent of people would probably have refused. This pandemic has opened many people's eyes to innovations in a way that was not possible before." Stefan Oelrich
/
"What if your eyes and your ability to think critically and independently tell you that all information from the institutions of the state is a lie? What do you do then? Do you trust your own cognitive abilities or blindly follow authority pretending everything can be somehow explained? If your worldview cannot explain what you see with your own eyes, then the problem is probably with your worldview. So, do you change this view or deny it?" David McGowan
/
"The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks." Mark Elliot Zuckerberg
/
"Democracy, the modern world’s holy cow, is in crisis… every kind of outrage is being committed in the name of democracy. It has become little more than a hollow word, a pretty shell, emptied of all content or meaning. Democracy is the Free World’s whore, willing to dress up, dress down, willing to satisfy a whole range of tastes, available to be used and abused at will. Free elections, a free press and an independent judiciary mean little when the free market means they are on sale to the highest bidder." Arundhati Roy
/
"Give me control over a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes its laws." Amschel Mayer Rothschild
/
"In order to tame people into the desired pattern, victims must be brought to a point where they have lost their alert consciousness and mental awareness. Freedom of discussion and free intellectual exchange hinder conditioning. Feelings of terror, feelings of fear and hopelessness, of being alone, of standing with one's back to the wall, must be instilled" Joost A.M. Meerloo
/
"We must search out totally new ways to anchor ourselves, for all the old roots religion, nation, community, family, or profession are now shaking under the hurricane impact of the accelerative thrust." Alvin Toffler
/
"Freedom of the press is the right to print lies without being forced to do so." Robert Emil Lembke

"You must think that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in the palm of its hand. It will not let you fall." Rainer Maria Rilke
/
"People love their animals so much so that they put little clothes on them and necklaces and booties and things like that. And if you love your animal, then you should feed them something that's not dangerous for them. There's a lot of poisonous stuff that they're putting in a lot of that food, those by-products." Ellen Lee DeGeneres
/
"Be kind to yourself and you will become your best friend." Unbekannt
/
"By eating meat we share responsibility for causing climate change, the destruction of our forests, and the poisoning of our air and water. The simple act of becoming a vegetarian can make a difference in the health of our planet." Thích Nhất Hạnh
/
"In former times, torture was used. Nowadays, the press is used. That is certainly progress." Oscar Wilde
/
"The possibilities for manipulation have, of course, increased considerably in the age of mass media." Arthur Miller
/
"Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic disease of the 20th century and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press. Such as it is, however, the press has become the greatest power within the Western countries, more powerful than the legislative power, the executive, and the judiciary. And one would then like to ask: By what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible? In the communist East a journalist is frankly appointed as a state official. But who has granted Western journalists their power, for how long a time, and with what prerogatives?" Alexander Solschenizyn
/
""Freedom of the press is the freedom of two hundred rich people to spread their opinions. As the production of newspapers and magazines requires ever greater capital, the circle of people who publish press organs is becoming smaller and smaller. This makes our dependence ever greater and ever more dangerous. There are oases in the German press where the air of freedom still blows, but how many of my colleagues can say the same? Those who are rich are free. That's not from Karl Marx, but from Paul Sethe. Since journalists are not rich, they are not free either."" Paul Sethe
/
"Freedom of the press in the West, which is much better than elsewhere, is ultimately the freedom of 200 rich people to publish their opinions." Peter Scholl-Latour
/
"We all know by now how dangerously the media's normal watchdog function has been transformed into a ruthless destruction machine for the sake of maintaining its own economic success." Edzard Reuter
/
"If my sons did not want wars, there would be none." Gutle Schnapper Rothschild
/
"Yes. I have decided that I will no longer work for public broadcasters for the foreseeable future, which means, for example, that I will no longer shoot any episodes of ”Tatort." I recently had two requests for public broadcasting productions, both of which I turned down. Because I don't want anything to do with the way they handled their reporting during the coronavirus pandemic. The one-sidedness and obvious government loyalty of ARD and ZDF leave me speechless." Tom Bohn
/
"If you scare people enough, they will demand removal of freedom. This is the path to tyranny." Elon Musk
/
"In the long run, even the most efficiently organized propaganda can do nothing against the truth." Albert Schweitzer
/
"Young people are accused of using violence. But are we not in a perpetual state of violence? Because we were born and raised in prison, we no longer notice that we are stuck in a hole with our hands and feet chained and a gag in our mouths. What do you call a lawful state? A law that turns the vast majority of citizens into servile cattle in order to satisfy the unnatural needs of an insignificant and corrupt minority? And this law, supported by brute military force and the stupid cleverness of its agents, this law is eternal, brute force, contrary to justice and common sense, and I will fight against it with my mouth and my hands wherever I can." Karl Georg Büchner
/
"Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there." Will Smith
/
"Why pay a dollar for a bookmark? Why not use the dollar for a bookmark?" Steven Spielberg

"No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people." H. L. Mencken
