"A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers.... The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth."

- Aldous Huxley, Brave new world

To balance out some of the meatball's quotes...

Since the Bible and the church are obviously mistaken in telling us where we came from, how can we trust them to tell us where we are going? – Anonymous

Be thankful that you have a life, and forsake your vain and presumptuous desire for a second one. – Richard Dawkins

What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. – Christopher Hitchens

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death - Albert Einstein

To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today. – Isaac Asimov

You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep-seated need to believe. - Carl Sagan

In high school I made up a philosopher for a school project.

Confushion say: Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

There are a ton of them but I can't find my notes, I always liked that one, got an A+ and had the whole class in stitches ^_^

If you want sympathy you will find it in the dictionary somewhere between shit and syphilis!


It is better to remain quiet and let everyone think your an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

My dad used to quote those to me.


Work is a precious thing, so put off today what you can do tomorrow.

Rob Perkins


Confusious say: Man who stands on toilet, is high on pot!

Man who goes to bed with itchy butt, wake up with stinky finger!

Woman who flies upside down, have hairy crack up!

Man who has hand in pants pocket, feel cocky all day!



I have some more but turkey is served.

"We tend, systematically to think our own successes are a result of our qualities, but our failures are down to circumstance, and we think the precise opposite of other people. To take a trivial example, 90% of us report that we are above average drivers."

It also explains why there are "so many stupid people out there." :can:
