Alan Moore
“Once a man has seen society's black underbelly, he can never turn his back on it. Never pretend, like you do, that it doesn't exist.”
Alan Moore, Watchmen

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

Alan Moore
“Blake understood. Treated it like a joke, but he understood. He saw the cracks in society, saw the little men in masks trying to hold it together...he saw the true face of the twentieth century and chose to become a reflection of it, a parody of it. No one else saw the joke. That's why he was lonely.”
Alan Moore , Watchmen

Louis D. Brandeis
“If you would only recognize that life is hard, things would be so much easier for you.”
Louis D. Brandeis

Neil Postman
“Perhaps we should abandon the whole idea of trying to make students intelligent and focus on the idea of making them less ignorant. Doctors do not generally concern themselves with health; they concentrate on sickness. And lawyers don't think too much about justice; they think about cases of injustice. Using this model in teaching would imply identifying and understanding various forms of ignorance and working to eliminate as many of them as we can.”
Neil Postman
