It is well to remember that the entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others. -- John Andrew Holmes
There is no inverse relationship between freedom and security. Less of one does not lead to more of the other. People with no rights are not safe from terrorist attack. -- Molly Ivins
[War] is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious [racket]. ... It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives ... It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. -- Major General Smedley Butler
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe. -- Albert Einstein
"The brain of our species is, as we know, made up largely of potassium, phosphorus, propaganda, and politics, with the result that how not to understand what should be clearer is becoming easier and easier for all of us." -- James Thurber
One of the fun aspects of Empire is how many ironies it creates. -- Glenn Greenwald
I had a slightly insane discussion the other day with a winger who wanted urgently for me to understand that the Haditha massacre is the kind of thing that happens in war. Whereas I was trying to point out to him that the Haditha massacre is the kind of thing that happens in war. -- Molly Ivins
I am supposing, or perhaps only hoping, that our future may be found in the past's fugitive moments of compassion rather than in its solid centuries of warfare. –- Howard Zinn
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it. --Upton Sinclair
If we're the greatest country in the world, then maybe we could have the greatest government. -- Lewis Black
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. -- Aristotle
The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who loves his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair. -- H.L. Mencken
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. -- James Madison, 4th President of the United States
No nation builds a wall out of strength. They build it out of fear. -- Michael Flynn
They call it The American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. -- George Carlin
Texas justice is Texas justice. -- Victoria Nuland, US State Department spokeswomanSometimes I go about with pity for myself, and all the while Great Winds are carrying me across the sky.
