Quotes:
- “People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.”
- “There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it.”
- “The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him, the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free.”
- “The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence.”
- “Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left.”
- “Never have so many been manipulated so much by so few.”
- “The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation’ — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
- “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”
- “The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.”
- “There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.”
- “Assembled in a crowd, people lose their powers of reasoning and their capacity for moral choice.”
- “Experience teaches only the teachable.”
- “Love casts out fear; but conversely fear casts out love. And not only love. Fear also casts out intelligence, casts out goodness, casts out all thought of beauty and truth.”
- “Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don’t know because we don’t want to know.”
