George Orwell
“It’s not so much staying alive, it’s staying human that’s important. What counts is that we don’t betray each other.”
George Orwell
“The whole drift of our law is toward the absolute prohibition of all ideas that diverge in the slightest form from the accepted platitudes, and behind that drift of law there is a far more potent force of growing custom, and under that custom there is a natural philosophy which erects conformity into the noblest of virtues and the free functioning of personality into a capital crime against society.”
Henry Louis Mencken
“These people don’t see that if you encourage totalitarian methods, the time may come when they will be used against you instead of for you.”

“Impersonal forces over which we have almost no control seem to be pushing us all in the direction of the Brave New Worldian nightmare; and this impersonal pushing is being consciously accelerated by representatives of commercial and political organizations who have developed a number of new techniques for manipulating, in the interest of some minority, the thoughts and feelings of the masses.”
Aldous Huxley

The Libertarian Pilot
“The function of the statist ideologists is to weave the false set of Emperor’s clothes, to convince the public of a massive double standard: that when the State commits the gravest of high crimes it is really not doing so, but doing something else that is necessary, proper, vital, and even – in former ages – by divine command. The age-old success of the ideologists of the State is perhaps the most gigantic hoax in the history of mankind”
Murray Rothbard
“The secret of liberty is to enlighten men, as that of tyranny is to keep them in ignorance.”
Maximilien de Robespierre
