Daniel C. Dennett
“Philosophers' Syndrome: mistaking a failure of the imagination for an insight into necessity.”
Daniel C. Dennett, Consciousness Explained

George Orwell
“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
George Orwell

Milton Friedman
“Only a crisis - actual or perceived - produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes the politically inevitable.”
Milton Friedman

Terry Pratchett
“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”
Terry Pratchett, Jingo

Saul Bellow
“A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.”
Saul Bellow, To Jerusalem and Back
