Michael Oakeshott
“As civilized human beings, we are the inheritors, neither of an inquiry about ourselves and the world, nor of an accumulating body of information, but of a conversation, begun in the primeval forests and extended and made more articulate in the course of centuries. It is a conversation which goes on both in public and within each of ourselves.”
Michael Oakeshott

Slavoj Žižek
“I think that the task of philosophy is not to provide answers, but to show how the way we perceive a problem can be itself part of a problem.”
Slavoj Žižek

Otto von Bismarck
“We live in a wondrous time, in which the strong is weak because of his scruples and the weak grows strong because of his audacity.”
Otto von Bismarck

David Ben-Gurion
“It's not enough to be up to date, you have to be up to tomorrow.”
David Ben-Gurion

Hannah Arendt
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
