Children of the Devil

“For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
--John 8:44

Progressive Propaganda

“The purpose of progressive propaganda is not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponds to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity.”
--Theodore Dalrymple

Obvious Lies

“To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. If you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
--Theodore Dalrymple

In Difficulty Lies Opportunity

“Out of clutter, find simplicity; out of discord, find harmony; in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

Permeated with Hypocrisy

--Václav Havel

Lost Your Mind

“You have lost your reason and taken the wrong path. You have taken lies for truth, and hideousness for beauty. You would marvel if, owing to strange events of some sorts, frogs and lizards suddenly grew on apple and orange trees instead of fruit, or if roses began to smell like a sweating horse; so I marvel at you who exchange heaven for earth. I don't want to understand you.”
--Anton Chekhov
