Legendary quotes

"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

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.

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