“The problem about government and its employees . It is that they all work like they are doing people favors and is not their job to serve people. They want people to beg them and to pay them to do what they are employed to do. That is why it is easy for them to do corruption than to do what they are employed to do.”
De Philosopher DJ Kyos

Franz Kafka
“Justice has to be motionless or else the scales will waver that and there is no possibility of a correct judgement”
Franz Kafka, The Trial

C.A.A. Savastano
“The American people should not have their time wasted and should not be misinformed by the press. If they want to lie to us they should go into politics like everyone else does.”
C.A.A. Savastano

Aldous Huxley
“Unless you're steadily and unflaggingly cynical about the solemn twaddle that's talked by bishops and bankers and professors and politicians and all the rest of them, you're lost. Utterly lost. Doomed to personal imprisonment in your ego- doomed to be a personality in a world of personalities; and a world of personalities is this world, the world of greed and fear and hatred, of war and capitalism and dictatorship and slavery. Yes, you've got to be cynical, Pete. Specially cynical about all the actions and feelings you've been taught to suppose were good. Most of them are not good. They're merely evils which happen to be regarded as creditable. But unfortunately, creditable evil is just as bad as discreditable evil. Scribes and Pharises aren't any better, in the last analysis, than publicans and sinners. Indeed, they're often much worse.”
Aldous Huxley, After Many a Summer Dies the Swan

Franz Kafka
“They don't make mistakes. Our authorities, as far as I am aware - and I know only the lowest ranks - don't actually look for guilt in the population, but are, as the law says, drawn towards guilt and must send us guards out. That's the law. Where would there be a mistake? 'I don't know this law', said K. 'That's your problem,' said the guard. 'It probably only exists in your minds', said K.”
Franz Kafka, The Trial
