Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth, more than ruin, more even than death....Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. ~Bertrand Russell
Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it's true. If you hire somebody without the first, you really want them to be dumb and lazy. ~Warren Buffet
"There is nothing in the world that can give man a sense of the infinite like human stupidity." -Unknown

There is a chalk outline slowly being drawn around common sense and most people can't identify the victim. -Dennis Miller
The prostitutes worked for a pimp now. He was splendid and cruel. He was a god to them. He took their free will away from them, which was perfectly all right. They didn't want it anyway. It was as though they had surrendered themselves to Jesus, for instance, so they could live unselfishly and trustingly--except that they had surrendered to a pimp instead. -Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions
"The wise man who is not heeded is counted a fool, and the fool who proclaims the general folly first and loudest passes for a prophet and Fuhrer, and sometimes it is luckily the other way round as well, or else mankind would long since have perished of stupidity." --Carl Jung
To be born in imbecility, in the midst of pain and crisis; to be the plaything of ignorance, error, need, sickness, wickedness, and passions; to return step by step to imbecility, from the time of lisping to that of doting; to live among knaves and charlatans of all kinds; to die between one man who takes your pulse and another who troubles your head; never to know where you come from, why you come and where you are going! That is what is called the most important gift of our parents and nature. Life. -Denis Diderot

“People don’t want to change anymore. People don’t want to have to think, to use their imaginations, to aspire to anything more than mediocrity or to open their minds to possibility. They just want regular meals and an easy life. Now, there’s not really anything totally inherently bad about regular meals […] The real problem is that now, nobody wants to accept anything new. […] Humanity has chosen to live in a world of crap. It’s a least-common-denominator dystopia, and neither Traditionalist nor Technocrat can jar these six billion limps of flesh from their programmed complacency. [] The Masses have spoken, and they’ve chosen absolute slack-ass mediocrity…” ~Mage
