"It is important for this country to make its people so obsessed with their own liberal individualism that they do not have time to think about a world larger than self." -Bell Hooks
"If we are not prepared to think for ourselves, and to make the effort to learn how to do this well, we will always be in danger of becoming slaves to the ideas and values of others due to our own ignorance." - William Hughes
"History can come in handy. If you were born yesterday, with no knowledge of the past, you might easily accept whatever the government tells you. But knowing a bit of history--while it would not absolutely prove the government was lying in a given instance--might make you skeptical, lead you to ask questions, make it more likely that you would find out the truth." - Howard Zinn
"Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. - They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them." - George Carlin
"One of the most important things one can do in life is to brutally question every single thing you are taught." - Bryant McGill
"Doubt everything. Find your own light.' - Last words of Gotama Buddha, in Theravada tradition
