“J'avais eu peur en effet de mourir dans les geôles colonialistes sans laisser à l'Algérie, à mes frères musulmans, une technique de renaissance, tant je les voyais sacrifier leurs meilleurs moyens et le meilleur de leur temps à des futilités. On verra comment le "patrimoine" algérien m'en récompensera.”
― Malek Bennabi مالك بن نبي

“Leonard Schapiro, writing on Stalinism, warned us that “the true object of propaganda is neither to convince nor even to persuade. But to produce a uniform pattern of public utterances in which the first trace of unorthodox thought reveals itself as a jarring dissonance.”

“Real education leads to the liberation of the mind.”

“To be unable to bear disapproval was an unworthy weakness. But in her case it came nowise of the pride which blame stirs to resentment, but altogether of the self-depreciation which disapproval rouses to yet greater dispiriting. Praise was to her a precious thing, in part because it made her feel as if she could go on; blame, a misery, in part because it made her feel as if all was of no use, she never could do anything right. She had not yet learned that the right is the right, come of praise or blame what may. The right will produce more right and be its own reward--in the end a reward altogether infinite, for God will meet it with what is deeper than all right, namely, perfect love.”
― George MacDonald, Mary Marston
