“The major western democracies are moving towards corporatism. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope.

This is not democracy. It is to politics what McDonalds is to food.”

“Credes, mortais, que há de haver juízo? Uma de duas é certa: ou o não credes, ou o não tendes.”
― Padre António Vieira

“In every age it has been the tyrant, the oppressor and the exploiter who has wrapped himself in the cloak of patriotism, or religion, or both to deceive and overawe the People.”
