Henning Mankell
“Some people give theirselves a certain number of white weeks once in a year, when they do not drink a single drop of alcohol. It is really wise. I myself have a few weeks per year, let us call them white or black, when I am not interested in the world around. When I come back from this isolation of the news, I realize that I have missed nothing significant. We live in the rain of disinformation and rumors, where the truth is a very small number. In those weeks of dissociation I seek for knowledge that lies within me.”
Henning Mankell, Before the Frost

Neil Postman
“If politics is like show business, then the idea is not to pursue excellence, clarity or honesty but to appear as if you are, which is another matter altogether.”
Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

Djayawarman Alamprabu
“I don't believe in information, I believe in disinformation.”
Djayawarman Alamprabu, Feared Intellectualism

Toba Beta
“Disinformation is duping.
Misinformation is tricking.”
Toba Beta, Master of Stupidity

Newton Lee
“While information is the oxygen of the modern age, disinformation is the carbon monoxide that can poison generations.”
Newton Lee, Counterterrorism and Cybersecurity: Total Information Awareness
