"The bullshitter is neither on the side of the true or the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all. He does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. He pays no attention to it at all. By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are." Harry Gordon Frankfurt

"How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?"

"70% of the population — namely the lower 70% on the income and wealth scale — have absolutely no influence on political decisions. Yes, it is no wonder that the population sinks into apathy and lethargy and then seeks refuge in some political positions with an ugly face, hoping that through them they can regain some influence at all."

"A third of the people in this country are weak in spirit. One in seven citizens is stupid or demented or an alcoholic. About half of the country's population has below-average intellect. These people, and it is half of the nation, escape the diversity and ambiguity of the world, and what is left of this world in their eyes can be divided into quite simple, mostly anti-polar elements. It’s sometimes called black and white thinking." Prof. Cyril Höschl

"When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!" George Carlin
