Erich Maria Remarque Quote: The True Attitude Towards War Revealed!
“I always thought everyone was against war until I found out there are those who are all for it, especially those who do not have to go there.”
Erich Maria Remarque
“I always thought everyone was against war until I found out there are those who are all for it, especially those who do not have to go there.”
Erich Maria Remarque
“You wish to know my “confidential opinion as to the honesty of the Associated Press.” My opinion, not confidential, is that it is the damndest, meanest monopoly on the face of the earth–the wet-nurse for all other monopolies. It lies by day, it lies by night, and it lies for the very lust of lying. Its news-gatherers, I sincerely believe, only obey orders.”
James H. Barry
“Journalism is one of the devices whereby industrial autocracy keeps its control over political democracy; it is the day-by-day, between-elections propaganda, whereby the minds of the people are kept in a state of acquiescence, so that when the crisis of an election comes, they go to the polls and cast their ballots for either one of the two candidates of their exploiters.”
Upton Sinclair
“If it is claimed that a substance has no side effects, then there is a strong suspicion that it does not have any principal effect.”
Gustav Kuschinsky
“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.”
Blaise Pascal
“That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake; a backbone was all he needed. This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism by order, senseless violence, and all the pestilent nonsense that does by the name of patriotism–how I hate them! War seems to me a mean, contemptible thing: I would rather be hacked in pieces than take part in such an abominable business. And yet so high, in spite of everything, is my opinion of the human race that I believe this bogey would have disappeared long ago, had the sound sense of the nations not been systematically corrupted by commercial and political interests acting through the schools and the Press.”
Albert Einstein
“It is one of the most difficult things that can be imposed on a thinking man, to have to witness the course of a historical process among ignorant people, whose inevitable outcome he has long known with clarity. The time of the error of others, of false hopes, of blindly committed mistakes then becomes very long.”
Carl J. Burckhardt
“What if the democracy we thought we were serving no longer exists, and the Republic has become the very evil we have been fighting to destroy?”
Padmé Amidala
“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls”
Carl Gustav Jung
“The secret of liberty is to enlighten men, as that of tyranny is to keep them in ignorance.”
Maximilien de Robespierre
