Psychopolitics Quotes

“Friedrich Hacker says: “Many Arab intellectuals…consider the Arab mentality, which attributes to the written word and to speech a more than symbolic importance, a magical importance, as a dangerous national passion and as a sickness. For this mentality, it suffices to say something for there to be no need of doing it. Words do not announce acts and do not prepare them, they replace them.”9”
