Aldous Huxley
Totalitarianism, Control, Servitude, Politics, Dystopian Vision, Human Nature
4. “The real stumbling-block of totalitarian regimes is not the spiritual need of men for freedom of thought; it is men's inability to stand the physical and nervous strain of a permanent state of excitement, except during a few years of their youth.” Simone Weil Totalitarianism, Freedom, Human Nature, Social Control, Political Systems, Psychological Insight
7. “The greatest threat to mankind and civilization is the spread of the totalitarian philosophy. Its best ally is not the devotion of its followers but the confusion of its enemies. To fight it, we must understand it.” Ayn Rand Totalitarian Threat, Political Philosophy, Intellectual Resistance, Totalitarianism, Politics, Philosophy
16. “These people don’t see that if you encourage totalitarian methods, the time may come when they will be used against you instead of for you. Make a habit of imprisoning Fascists without trial, and perhaps the process won’t stop at Fascists.” George Orwell Totalitarianism, Justice, Power, Consequences, Society
22. “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” George Orwell History, Truth, Control, Manipulation, Totalitarianism
23. “There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed.” George Orwell Totalitarianism, Control, Society, Freedom, Dystopia
