Friedrich Nietzsche
“Toma cuidado!... Ele está a reflectir: vai defender a sua mentira.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science: With a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs

Isaiah Berlin
“If you are truly convinced that there is some solution to all human problems, that one can conceive an ideal society which men can reach if only they do what is necessary to attain it, then you and your followers must believe that no price can be too high to pay in order to open the gates of such a paradise. Only the stupid and malevolent will resist once certain simple truths are put to them. Those who resist must be persuaded; if they cannot be persuaded, laws must be passed to restrain them; if that does not work, then coercion, if need be violence, will inevitably have to be used—if necessary, terror, slaughter.”
Isaiah Berlin

Immanuel Kant
“Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.”
Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason

Hannah Arendt
“It has frequently been noticed that the surest long-term result of brainwashing is a peculiar kind of cynicism — an absolute refusal to believe in the truth of anything, no matter how well this truth may be established.”
Hannah Arendt

Orson Scott Card
“So the whole war is because we can't talk to each other.”
Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game
