Erich Fromm quote on thinking, happiness, and societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Well now, I believe we are much less stupid than it seems. We are trained not to think. Formulas are drilled into us, which we parrot. But I believe that if the desire for true happiness, for true knowledge were to fully awaken among people in society – what the Enlightenment called with Kant's words: Sapere aude! Dare to know! – and not to consume canned wisdom that someone else has cooked and served, and then even experienced oneself as if I had thought such a thing... I believe that tremendous change could be achieved. People are not that stupid at all. But it is dangerous not to be stupid. Because if you are not stupid, you contradict, criticize, express unpopular opinions. And for safety reasons, it is better to appear stupid." Erich Fromm
Inspirational quote by Steve Jobs about crazy ones, misfits and rebels who change the worldCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." Steve Jobs

"I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I have been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." Michael Jordan, Basketball-Legende
Quote about future surveillance by Yuval Noah HarariCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Imagine North Korea in twenty years, when everyone must wear a biometric wristband that monitors your blood pressure, heart rate, and brain activity around the clock. You hear a speech from the great leader on the radio and they know what you really feel. You can clap your hands and smile, but if you are angry, they know you will be in the gulag tomorrow. And if we allow the emergence of such total surveillance regimes, do not think that the rich and powerful will be safe in places like Davos." Yuval Noah Harari
Quote about fear and movies by Steven SpielbergCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"I was a scared kid... I think I was born a nervous wreck, and I think movies were one way to find a way transferring my own private horrors to everyone else's lives. It was less of an escape and more of an exorcism." Steven Spielberg
Quote by Steven Spielberg about science fiction warning us about the futureCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, any one that's worth its weight in celluloid, warns us about things that ultimately come true." Steven Spielberg
Quote by Mario Savio about the university's role in societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The university is a vast public utility which turns out future workers in today's vineyard, the military-industrial complex. They've got to be processed in the most efficient way to see to it that they have the fewest dissenting opinions, that they have just those characteristics which are wholly incompatible with being an intellectual. This is a real internal psychological contradiction. People have to suppress the very questions which reading books raises." Mario Savio
Quote by Frank Zappa on schools stifling creativity and critical thoughtCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Schools train people to be ignorant, with style. They give you the equipment that you need to be a functional ignoramus. American schools* do not equip you to deal with things like logic; they don’t give you the criteria by which to judge between good and bad in any medium or format; and they prepare you to be a usable victim for military-industrial complex that needs manpower. As long as you’re just smart enough to do a job and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you’re gonna be alright. But if you go beyond that then you’re gonna have these grave doubts that give you stomach problems, headaches…make you want to go out and do something else. So, I believe that schools mechanically and very specifically try and breed out any hint of creative thought in the kids that are coming out." Frank Zappa
Quote by Bertrand Russell about educational systems designed to control peopleCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Educational systems have been developed not to impart genuine knowledge but to make the people docile to the will of the rulers. Without a sophisticated system of deception in schools, it would be impossible to maintain the appearance of democracy. It is not desired that ordinary citizens think for themselves. Because it is believed that people who think for themselves are difficult to handle. Only the elites are supposed to think. The rest are supposed to obey and follow their leaders, like a herd of mutton. This doctrine has corrupted all state education systems from the ground up, even in democracies." Bertrand Russell
Quote by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on why stupidity is more dangerous than maliceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of goodness than malice. Evil can be protested against, exposed, and, if necessary, prevented by force; evil always carries within it the seeds of its own destruction, leaving at least a feeling of unease in people. We are defenseless against stupidity. Neither protests nor force can achieve anything here; reasons do not catch on; facts that contradict one's own prejudices simply do not need to be believedin such cases, the stupid person even becomes critical, and if they are unavoidable, they can simply be dismissed as meaningless isolated cases. Unlike evil people, stupid people are completely satisfied with themselves; indeed, they even become dangerous because they are easily provoked into attacking others. Therefore, we must be more cautious with stupid people than with evil people. ... On closer inspection, it becomes apparent that any strong external display of power, whether political or religious, strikes a large part of humanity with stupidity. ... The Bible verse that says the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:7) tells us that the only real way to overcome stupidity is through the inner liberation of human beings to live responsibly before God." Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Quote about power based on ignorance by Ernst WolffCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The other side may have more money, more possessions, and all the weapons in the world. But their power is based neither on their money, nor on their possessions, nor on their weapons, but solely on one factor, and that is the ignorance of the majority of people." Ernst Wolff
Quote by Adolf Hitler discussing the Jesuit Order and the Catholic Church's organizational hierarchyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Above all, I learned from the Jesuit Order. Incidentally, Lenin did too, as far as I remember. There has never been anything greater in the world than the hierarchical order of the Catholic Church. I have applied much of it directly to the organization of my party. Almost two thousand years of existence amid changing fortunes—that means something. [...] The Catholic Church is exemplary above all because of its extraordinarily clever tactics and knowledge of human nature, because of its wise incorporation of human weaknesses into the leadership of the faithful." Adolf Hitler
Inspirational quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon about trusting and resisting deceptionCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Our ancient enemies have small belief in our common sense if they imagine that we shall ever be able to trust them, after having so often beheld the depths of Jesuitical cunning and duplicity. The sooner we let certain Archbishops and Cardinals know that we are aware of their designs, and will in nothing cooperate with them the better for us and our country. Of course, we shall be howled at as bigots, but we can afford to smile at that cry, when it comes from the church which invented the Inquisition, ‘No peace with Rome’ is the motto of reason as well as of religion." Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Quote by Luigi Desanctis about the true nature of JesuitismCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"He who thinks he knows the Jesuits by having read all the books that were written in the past century [the Eighteenth Century] to unmask them, would be grossly deceived. The Jesuitism of that day was an open war against the Gospel and society; the Jesuitism of the present is a slow but contagious and deadly disease, which secretly insinuates itself; it is a poison taken under the name of medicine." Luigi Desanctis
Quote about freethinkers by Leo Tolstoi emphasizing the importance of open-mindednessCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking…" Leo Tolstoi
Quote by Viktor Schauberger about science being controlled and a call for freedomCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"I will return to my forest to die in peace. The whole of science and all its appendages are just a bunch of thieves hanging like marionettes on strings and having to dance to whatever tune their well-hidden slave masters deem necessary." Viktor Schauberger
Quote by Etienne de Harven discussing viral epidemics and the role of fearmongering by media and pharmaceutical industryCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"We are not witnessing viral epidemics; we are witnessing epidemics of fear. And both the media and the pharmaceutical industry carry most of the responsibility for amplifying fears, fears that happen, incidentally, to always ignite fantastically profitable business. Research hypotheses covering these areas of virus research are practically never scientifically verified with appropriate controls. Instead, they are established by "consensus." This is then rapidly reshaped into a dogma, efficiently perpetuated in a quasi-religious manner by the media, including ensuring that research funding is restricted to projects supporting the dogma, excluding research into alternative hypotheses. An important tool to keep dissenting voices out of the debate is censorship at various levels ranging from the popular media to scientific publications." Etienne de Harven
Quote by Vince Ebert about science versus theology and the importance of checking assumptionsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"For example, if I suspect that there might still be beer in the fridge and I check, then in principle I'm already doing a preliminary form of science. Big difference to theology. In theology, assumptions are not usually tested. So if I just say “there's beer in the fridge”, I'm a theologian. If I look, I'm a scientist. If I look, find nothing and still claim there's beer in it - then I'm an esoteric!" Vince Ebert
Quote by Allen Daves explaining why the moving Earth theory is nonsenseCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"If the Government or NASA had said to you that the Earth is stationary, imagine that. And then imagine we are trying to convince people that ‘no, no it’s not stationary, it’s moving forward at 32 times rifle bullet speed and spinning at 1,000 miles per hour.’ We would be laughed at! We would have so many people telling us ‘you are crazy, the Earth is not moving!’ We would be ridiculed for having no scientific backing for this convoluted moving Earth theory. And not only that but then people would say, ‘oh then how do you explain a fixed, calm atmosphere and the Sun’s observable movement, how do you explain that?’ Imagine saying to people, ‘no, no, the atmosphere is moving also but is somehow magically velcroed to the moving-Earth. The reason is not simply because the Earth is stationary.’ So what we are actually doing is what makes sense. We are saying that the moving-Earth theory is nonsense. The stationary-Earth theory makes sense and we are being ridiculed. You’ve got to picture it being the other way around to realize just how RIDICULOUS this situation is. This theory from the Government and NASA that the Earth is rotating and orbiting and leaning over and wobbling is absolute nonsense and yet people are clinging to it, tightly, like a teddy bear. They just can’t bring themselves to face the possibility that the Earth is stationary though ALL the evidence shows it: we feel no movement, the atmosphere hasn’t been blown away, we see the Sun move from East-to-West, everything can be explained by a motionless Earth without bringing in all these assumptions to cover up previous assumptions gone bad." Allen Daves
Quote by Spyridon Kakos about Galileo Galilei and the Copernican principle as a modern dogma challenging mainstream astronomyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"For centuries the case of Galileo Galilei has been the cornerstone of every major argument against the church and its supposedly unscientific dogmatism. The church seems to have condemned Galileo for his heresies, just because it couldn’t and wouldn’t handle the truth. Galileo was a hero of science wrongfully accused and now – at last – everyone knows that. But is that true? This paper tries to examine the case from the point of modern physics and the conclusions drawn are startling. It seems that contemporary church was too haste into condemning itself. The evidence provided by Galileo to support the heliocentric system do not even pass simple scrutiny, while modern physics has ruled for a long time now against both heliocentric and geocentric models as depictions of the “truth”. As Einstein eloquently said, the debate about which system is chosen is void of any meaning from a physics’ point of view. At the end, the selection of the center is more a matter of choice rather than a matter of ‘truth’ of any kind. And this choice is driven by specific philosophical axioms penetrating astronomy for hundreds of years now. From Galileo to Hubble, the Copernican principle has been slowly transformed to a dogma followed by all mainstream astronomers. It is time to challenge our dogmatic adherence to the anti-humanism idea that we are insignificant in the cosmos and start making true honest science again, as Copernicus once postulated." Spyridon Kakos
Quote about time travel and space-time by Stephen HawkingCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Since we can’t change the way the universe began, the question of whether time travel is possible is one of whether we can subsequently make space–time so warped that one can go back to the past. I think this is an important subject for research, but one has to be careful not to be labelled a crank. If one made a research grant application to work on time travel it would be dismissed immediately. No government agency could afford to be seen to be spending public money on anything as way out as time travel. Instead one has to use technical terms like closed time-like curves, which are code for time travel. Yet it is a very serious question." Stephen Hawking
Quote by Lena Böllinger about the consequences of market forces on healthcare and societal sacrificeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"To put it bluntly, one could also say: we accept deaths and sacrifice freedoms and fundamental rights because we have left hospitals and elderly care to aggressive market forces and ultimately ruined them with cost-cutting measures." Lena Böllinger
Quote about freedom and society by Unbekannt emphasizing the power of an angry minorityCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Before the pandemic, I thought that the masses didn't know what was going on in the world because they didn't have enough time to educate themselves. I now realize that's not a good excuse. The average beer drinker who is addicted to “Love Island” and other reality shows had enough time to do their research and realize who controls our world and how they do it, but they chose not to. Ignorance is a choice, and that choice is costing us our rights and freedom. The average person doesn't want to know the truth; there is no thirst for knowledge, no inner desire to regain our freedom or protect our children's rights. As long as people have enough bread, entertainment, and beer to drink away their worries and celebrate “their” victories, they are quite content to be ruled. In fact, they enjoy it because it relieves them of their personal responsibilities. So it's a good thing that the future of society lies in the hands of an angry and tireless minority, not a sleeping majority. You can call them “conspiracy theorists.” I call them freedom activists, servants of truth. It doesn't take a majority to win, just an angry and tireless minority willing to light the fires of freedom in the minds of the people." Unbekannt
Quote by Guido Westerwelle about the silent threat to freedom and civil rights in GermanyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The threat to freedom in Germany does not come with violence and noise, but rather quietly. It comes with all sorts of justifications, often well-intentioned ones. For example, when it comes to civil rights. In times when we are all concerned about the threat of terrorism, when we all naturally have to do everything we can for our citizens so that they can live happy lives unharmed. In times like these, parties and politicians come along and say, 'Now is the time to once again gradually reduce civil rights, which always bother us a little anyway. Freedom always dies inch by inch, as Karl Herrman Flach once put it. And freedom does not die because of politicians, it does not die because politicians want to restrict civil rights and liberties, but rather it becomes dangerous for freedom when citizens forget their own immune system, which must arm them against any threat to freedom. And for me, that is the decisive self-image of our party. That we say: For us, the citizen comes first and then the state. Other parties trust the state first and only then trust the citizens. Under the pretext of creating security, every civil right can be called into question. Under the pretext that security requires it, every tightening of the law can be decided. We fight this wherever we can, in the federal government, in parliament, but ladies and gentlemen, we also need the citizens. We also need self-confident citizens who do not accept the statement: “If you have nothing to hide, you should not complain.” No, we want a nation of self-confident citizens, not subjects of the state." Guido Westerwelle
Quote by Joost A.M. Meerloo about the dangers of isolated thinking and delusionCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Where thinking is isolated without free exchange with other minds and can no longer expand, delusion may follow. Whenever ideas are compartmentalized, behind and between curtains, the process of continual alert confrontation of facts and reality is hampered. The system freezes, becomes rigid, and dies of delusion." Joost A.M. Meerloo
Quote about peace, freedom, and truth by Karl JaspersCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Peace is only possible through freedom, freedom only through truth. Therefore, untruth is the real evil that destroys all peace: untruth ranging from concealment to blind indifference, from lies to inner dishonesty, from thoughtlessness to doctrinaire fanaticism, from the untruthfulness of the individual to the untruthfulness of the public sphere." Karl Jaspers
Quote by Ludwig von Mises on the state's use of coercion to enforce lawsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The state subjugates, imprisons, and kills. People tend to forget this because law-abiding citizens submit to the authority of the government without complaint in order to avoid punishment. But lawyers are more realistic and call a law that cannot be enforced by coercion an imperfect law. The authority of man-made laws rests entirely on the weapons of the police, who enforce obedience to their regulations" Ludwig von Mises

"I have made the decision to skip the Australian Open next year after X years because I have reached a point in my career where fame is not everything. I cannot identify with the Australian government's Covid measures, the possible quarantine requirement, and the Covid camps also put me off.

Freedom quote by Joost A.M. Meerloo highlighting the balance of power and responsibility in democracyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Freedom can never be completely safeguarded by rules and laws. It is as much dependent on the courage, integrity, and responsibility of each of us as it is on these qualities in those who govern. Every trait in us and our leaders which points to passive submission to mere power betrays democratic freedom. In our American system of democratic government, three different powerful branches serve to check each other, the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. Yet when there is no will to prevent encroachment of the power of one by any of the others, this system of checks, too, can degenerate." Joost A.M. Meerloo
Quote by Dwight D. Eisenhower about the dangers of scientific domination and technocratic elite in societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system–ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society." Dwight D. Eisenhower
Quote by Edward Harold Kass about tuberculosis and medical half-truths in medical researchCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"We had accepted some half truths and had stopped searching for the whole truths. The principal half truths were that medical research had stamped out the great killers of the past – tuberculosis, diphtheria, pneumonia, puerperal sepsis, etc. The data on deaths from tuberculosis show that the mortality rate from this disease has been declining steadily since the middle of the 19th century and was not altered measurably by the discovery of the tubercle bacillus, the advent of the tuberculin test, the appearance of BCG vaccination, the widespread use of mass screening, the intensive anti-tuberculosis campaigns, or the discovery of streptomycin. Similar trends in mortality have been reported with respect to diphtheria, scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, pertussis, measles, and many others." Edward Harold Kass
Quote by Nina Proll about discrimination and excluding healthy people from social lifeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"That healthy people, who would even be willing to 'prove' this, are to be excluded from social life in the future lacks not only any medical but also legal basis. This is discrimination at the highest level. If we accept this, we will indeed be surprised at what all is possible!" Nina Proll
Quote about vegan diet and health by Stephen Gilchrist GloverCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"I got into being vegan because I was simply looking to benefit from being more compassionate. I have since come to learn that it is an animal-based diet that is responsible for the overwhelming majority of cases of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, multiple sclerosis, and all kinds of other problems." Stephen Gilchrist Glover
Quote by Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. about the immorality of violence and powerCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"If something is wrong for you or me, it is also wrong for the cop, the soldier, the mayor, the governor, the general, the Fed chairman, the president. Theft does not become acceptable when they call it taxation, counterfeiting when they call it monetary policy, kidnapping when they call it the draft, mass murder when they call it foreign policy. We understand that it is never acceptable to wield violence nor the threat of violence against the innocent, whether by the mugger or the politician." Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.
Quote by Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. about government education and its influence on childrenCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"It isn't a coincidence that governments everywhere want to educate children. Government education, in turn, is supposed to be evidence of the state's goodness and its concern for our well-being. The real explanation is less flattering. If the government's propaganda can take root as children grow up, those kids will be no threat to the state apparatus. They'll fasten the chains to their own ankles." Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.

""...Every decline in the value of money is caused and organized by the state. Paper money and the central bank monopoly are the great super-tricks used to camouflage the violent nature of the state and the predatory basic pattern of ALL politics. Very few citizens are truly aware of the unimaginable extent to which they have been exploited for generations by the combination of progressive income tax and inflation, robbing them of the fruits of their labor.""

Quote by Oswald Spengler describing the German Republic as a company focusing on parties over peopleCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Out of fear for their share of the spoils, the German Republic was born in the grand ducal velvet armchairs and in the pubs of Weimar, not as a form of government, but as a COMPANY. Its statutes do not mention the PEOPLE, but PARTIES; not power, honor, and greatness, but PARTIES. We no longer have a fatherland, but PARTIES; no rights, but PARTIES; no goal, no future, but the interests of PARTIES. And these parties – once again: not sections of the people, but commercial enterprises with a paid bureaucracy, which were to American parties what a junk shop is to a department store – decided to give the ENEMY everything he wanted, to sign every demand, to awaken in him the courage to make ever greater demands, just so that they could pursue their own goals internally." Oswald Spengler
Quotation by Franz Oppenheimer about the state's nature as a tool of social dominationCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"The state is, by its very nature and essence, a social institution imposed by a victorious group of people on a defeated group of people for the sole purpose of regulating the rule of the former over the latter and securing it against internal uprisings and external attacks. And this rule has no other ultimate purpose than the economic exploitation of the defeated by the victors." Franz Oppenheimer

"The American people have no idea they are paying the bill. They know that someone is stealing their hubcaps, but they think it is the greedy businessman who raises prices or the selfish laborer who demands higher wages or the unworthy farmer who demands too much for his crop or the wealthy foreigner who bids up our prices. They do not realize that these groups also are victimized by a monetary system which is constantly being eroded in value by and through the Federal Reserve System." G. Edward Griffin

"The System is just like the Church. That’s probably why I feel so comfortable with it. It’s got a pope, the chairman; and a college of cardinals, the governors and bank presidents; and a curia, the senior staff. The equivalent of the laity is the commercial banks. If you’re a naughty parishioner in the Catholic Church, you come to confession. In this system, if you’re naughty, you come to the discount window for a loan. We even have different orders of religious thought like Jesuits and Franciscans and Dominicans only we call them pragmatists and monetarists and neo-Keynesians." Richard Syron

Quote by Robert H. Hemphill about the bank money system and its economic impactCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"If all the bank loans were paid, no one could have a bank deposit, and there would not be a dollar of coin or currency in circulation. This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent, on the Commercial Banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar, we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the Banks create ample synthetic money, we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are, absolutely, without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity, of our hopeless position, is almost incredible, but there it is. It is the most, important subject, intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse, unless it becomes widely understood, and the defects remedied very soon." Robert H. Hemphill

"Our power has been created through the manipulation of the national monetary system.. The Federal Reserve system fitted our plan nicely since it is owned by us, but the name implies that it is a government institution. From the very outset, our purpose was to confiscate all the gold and silver, replacing them with worthless non- redeemable papen notes... We Jews have put issue upon issue to the American people. Then we promote both sides of the issue as confusion reigns. With their eyes fixed on the issues, they fail to see who is behind every scene. We Jews toy with the American public as a cat toys with a mouse..." Harold Wallace Rosenthal
Quote on particle physics by Alexander Unzicker about the misuse of language and money in fundamental physics researchCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
The sensational news that a fundamental particle has been discovered is somewhere between a misuse of language and a lie. What was found did not solve a single problem in physics, and yet was immediately celebrated as the discovery of the century. Whether this was deliberate misdirection, shameless puffery or foolish parroting remains to be seen. [...] The idea of tens of thousands of physicists conducting an unmanageable experiment on a nonsensical theoretical model, seems to prohibit itself. It is too painful to even consider. But this is soberly true. Particle physics is money thrown away.” Alexander Unzicker
