"We are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and an example of modern credulity is the widespread belief that the Earth is round. The average man can advance not a single reason for thinking that the Earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth century mentality." George Bernard Shaw

"We’ve known for a long time gravity doesn’t exist, it’s time to yell it." Erik Verlinde

"It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance." Thomas Sowell

"If I could live my life over again, I would devote it to proving that germs seek their natural habitat-diseased tissue-rather than being the cause of dead tissue. In other words, mosquitoes seek the stagnant water, but do not cause the pool to become stagnant." Dr. Rudolph Virchow

""[…]that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking can ever fall into it."" Isaac Newton

"Creativity Is Intelligence Having Fun" Albert Einstein

"If you homeschool your kids they won't be like the other kids. Yep... that's the whole point." Axiomatic Enemy of the State

"Nothing in this world operates the way you think it does. Banks do not loan money, governments are not empowered to protect you, the police department is not there to serve you, institutions of higher learning, colleges and educational institutes, are not there to educate you. The entire superstructure of civilization in the Western world is a combination of brilliantly put together and planned, well-planned, schemes to direct the minds of the people in such a way as to serve their masters." Jordan Maxwell

"To be scientific, that is to know what one knows and what one does not know; unscientific is dogmatic knowledge. To be scientific is to know with reasons; to accept ready-made opinions is unscientific. Scientific is the knowledge with the consciousness of the respectively determined limits of the knowledge; unscientific is all total knowledge, as if one knew in the whole. Scientific is boundless criticism and self-criticism, the advancing questioning; unscientific is the concern that doubt could paralyze. Scientific is the methodical course, which step by step on the ground of experience penetrates to the decision; unscientific is the play of multiple opinions and possibilities and the murmuring." Karl Jaspers

"Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe." Herbert George Wells

"Once people see images of the Earth from space, life on Earth will never be the same again." Fred Hoyle

"All the notable experts support government policy because you only become a notable expert if you support government policy." Norbert W. Bolz

"Three great forces rule the world: stupidity, fear and greed." Albert Einstein

"Television is hypnotic, and it hides among the furniture of your living room. It doesn't reveal itself, but it distorts everything." Richard Dreyfuss
