Christopher Hitchens
“As the great Eugene Debs used to tell his socialist voters in the 1912 election campaign, he would not lead them into a Promised Land even if he could, because if they were trusting enough to be led in, they would be trusting enough to be led out again. He urged them, in other words, to do their own thinking.”
Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian

Plato
“...we must go where the argument carries us, as a vessel runs before the wind.”
Plato, The Republic

Christopher Hitchens
“Allow a friend to believe in a bogus prospectus or a false promise and you cease, after a short while, to be a friend at all. How dare you intervene? As well ask, How dare you not?”
Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian

Fulke Greville
“Oh, wearisome condition of humanity,
Born under one law, to another bound;
Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity,
Created sick, commanded to be sound.”
Fulke Greville

William Cobbett
“You can tell a lot about a country which refers to the Royal Mint and the National Debt.”
William Cobbett
