As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever: Clarence Darrow

"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating?... A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself." - from George Orwell's 1949 novel "1984"

"They have pillaged the world. When the land has nothing left for men who ravage everything, they scour the sea. If an enemy is rich, they are greedy; if he is poor, they crave glory. Neither East nor West can sate their appetite. They are the only people on earth to covet wealth and poverty with equal craving. They plunder, they butcher, they ravish, and call it by the lying name of 'empire'. They make a desert and call it 'peace'." - Publius Cornelius Tacitus - a historian of the Roman Empire

"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it." - George Orwell

"If you're right and you know it, speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth." - Mahatma Gandhi
