Sri Aurobindo
“Watch the too indignantly righteous. Before long you will find them committing or condoning the very offence which they have so fiercely censured.”
Sri Aurobindo

Aldous Huxley
“The demagogic propagandist must therefore be consistently dogmatic. All his statements are made without qualification. There are no grays in his picture of the world; everything is either diabolically black or celestially white. In Hitler’s words, the propagandist should adopt “a systematically one-sided attitude towards every problem that has to be dealt with.â€� He must never admit that he might be wrong or that people with a different point of view might be even partially right. Opponents should not be argued with; they should be attacked, shouted down, or, if they become too much of a nuisance, liquidated. The morally squeamish intellectual may be shocked by this kind of thing. But the masses are always convinced that “right is on the side of the active aggressor.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited

Sebastian Haffner
“One cannot overstate the childishness of the ideas that feed and stir the masses. Real ideas must as a rule be simplified to the level of a child’s understanding if they are to arouse the masses to historic actions.”
Sebastian Haffner, Defying Hitler: A Memoir

Robert Anton Wilson
“Certitude belongs exclusively to those who only own one encyclopedia.”
Robert Anton Wilson

Hannah Arendt
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
