“From the proletarians nothing is to be feared. Left to themselves, they will continue from generation to generation and from century to century, working, breeding, and dying, not only without any impulse to rebel, but without the power of grasping that the world could be other than it is.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man?”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“Most of what we say and do is not necessary, and its omission would save both time and trouble. At every step, therefore, a man should ask himself, 'Is this one of the things that are superfluous?' Moreover, not idle actions only but even idle impressions ought to be suppressed; for the unnecessary action will not ensue.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“The consciousness of the masses needs only to be influenced in a negative way.”
― George Orwell, 1984
