- Noam Chomsky
"Propaganda replaces moral philosophy."
-Morgenthau, Hans J.
"The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gas mask handy, it is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth."
-Woolf, Virginia
“Illusion is the first of the pleasures”
-Voltaire
“It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts... For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it.”
- Patrick Henry
“The first man to see an illusion by which men have flourished for centuries surely stands in a lonely place”
-Gary Zukav
“Propaganda does not deceive people; it merely helps them to deceive themselves.”- Eric Hoffer
"...the fight for our planet, physical and spiritual, a fight of cosmic proportions, is not a vague matter of the future; it has already started. The forces of Evil have begun their offensive; you can feel their pressure, and yet your screens and publications are full of prescribed smiles and raised glasses. What is the joy about?”
-Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
