Frankie Boyle
“For 3 million you could give everyone in Scotland a shovel, and we could dig a hole so deep we could hand her over to Satan in person. (on Margaret Thatcher)”
Frankie Boyle

Karl Marx
“The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital. The less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life-the greater is the store of your estranged being.”
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

Thomas Szasz
“It taught me, at an early age, that being wrong can be dangerous, but being right, when society regards the majority’s falsehood as truth, could be fatal.”
Thomas Stephen Szasz, The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct

Bill Hicks
“I loved when Bush came out and said, 'We are losing the war against drugs.'

Bill Hicks

Eric J. Hobsbawm
“It is a melancholy illusion of those who write books and articles that the printed word survives. Alas, it rarely does.”
Eric Hobsbawm, How to Change the World: Reflections on Marx and Marxism
