Karl Marx
“The demands of the Paris proletariat are utopian nonsense, to which an end must be put.”
Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte

Elie Wiesel
“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.”
Elie Wiesel, The Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, The Accident

Jonathan Haidt
“Sports is to war as pornography is to sex.”
Jonathan Haidt

Robert Anton Wilson
“We have never sought power. We have sought to disperse power, to set men and women free. That really means: to help them to discover that they are free. Everybody's free. The slave is free. The ultimate weapon isn't this plague out in Vegas, or any new super H-bomb. The ultimate weapon has always existed. Every man, every woman, and every child owns it. It's the ability to say No and take the consequences. 'Fear is failure.' 'The fear of death is the beginning of slavery.' "Thou hast no right but to do thy will.' The goose can break the bottle at any second. Socrates took the hemlock to prove it. Jesus went to the cross to prove it. It's in all history, all myth, all poetry. It's right out in the open all the time.”
Robert Anton Wilson, Leviathan

Robert Shea
“Everything you've ever believed is probably a lie.”
Robert Joseph Shea, The Eye in the Pyramid
