George Orwell
“If he were allowed contact with foreigners he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them is lies”
George Orwell, 1984

Charlotte Brontë
“Nothing moved [Emily Bronte] more than any insinuation that the faithfulness and clemency, the long-suffering and loving-kindness which are esteemed virtues in the daughters of Eve, become foibles in the sons of Adam.”
Charlotte Brontë

“your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
Dr. Ian Malcolm

George Orwell
“At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. [...] Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the highbrow periodicals.”
George Orwell

John Cleese
“Once you've got -- actually got -- an idea that is whirring around so fast that no other light or contrary evidence can come in, I think it's very dangerous.”
John Cleese
