Alex Barrichello

“Most people want so desperately to be an individual yet are so easily shaped by the media.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“When a mind is impressionable and has none too firm a hold on what is right, it must be rescued from the crowd: it is so easy for it to go over to the majority.”
― Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

“You are personally responsible for becoming more ethical than the society you grew up in.”
― Eliezer Yudkowsky

“The relative freedom which we enjoy depends of public opinion. The law is no protection. Governments make laws, but whether they are carried out, and how the police behave, depends on the general temper in the country. If large numbers of people are interested in freedom of speech, there will be freedom of speech, even if the law forbids it; if public opinion is sluggish, inconvenient minorities will be persecuted, even if laws exist to protect them.”
― George Orwell
