“I ardently desired the acquisition of knowledge. I had often, when at home, thought it hard to remain during my youth cooped up in one place and had longed to enter the world and take my station among other human beings. Now my desires were complied with, and it would, indeed, have been folly to repent.”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Noam Chomsky
“For example, one of the effects of the so-called free trade agreement with Canada was to stimulate a big flow of jobs from Canada to the southeast US, because that's an essentially nonunion area. Wages are lower; you don't have to worry about benefits; workers can barely organize. So that's an attack against Canadian workers.”
Noam Chomsky, Secrets, Lies and Democracy

Noam Chomsky
“The causes are the increasing polarization of the society that's been going on for the past twenty-five years, and the marginalization of large sectors of the population. Since they're superfluous for wealth production (meaning profit production), and since the basic ideology is that a person's human rights depend on what they can get for themselves in the market system, they have no human value.”
Noam Chomsky, Secrets, Lies and Democracy

Noam Chomsky
“If people are sufficiently intimidated, if the popular organizations are sufficiently destroyed, if the people have had it beaten into their heads that either they accept the rule of those with the guns or else they live and die in unrelieved misery, than your elections will all come out the way you want. And everybody will cheer.”
Noam Chomsky, Secrets, Lies and Democracy

Noam Chomsky
“I agree with Adam Smith on this-we'd like to see a tendency toward equality. Not just equality of opportunity, but actual equality— the ability, at every stage of one's existence, to access information and make decisions on the basis of it.”
Noam Chomsky, Secrets, Lies and Democracy
