"People
can be made ferocious or meek, masterful or slavish, as may suit the
educator. There is no nonsense so arrant that it cannot be made the
creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action." - Bertrand Russell
"The
vested interests - if we explain the situation by their influence -
can only get the public to act as they wish by manipulating public
opinion, by playing either upon the public's indifference, confusions,
prejudices, pugnacities or fears. And the only way in which the power of
the interests can be undermined and their maneuvers defeated is by
bringing home to the public the danger of its indifference, the
absurdity of its prejudices, or the hollowness of its fears; by showing
that it is indifferent to danger where real danger exists; frightened
by dangers which are nonexistent." - Sir Norman Angell 1872 - 1967
"THESE
stupid peasants, who, throughout the world, hold potentates on their
thrones, make statesmen illustrious, provide generals with lasting
victories, all with ignorance, indifference, or half-witted hatred,
moving the world with the strength of their arms, and getting their
heads knocked together, in the name of God, the king, or the stock
exchange-immortal, dreaming, hopeless asses, who surrender their reason
to the care of a shining puppet, and persuade some toy to carry their
lives in his purse." - Stephen Crane - American novelist and poet, 1870-1900
