“A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial. That is when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud.”
George Orwell
“It’s not unpatriotic to denounce an injustice committed on our behalf, perhaps it’s the most patriotic thing we can do. Be wise today so you don't cry tomorrow. It was not curiosity that killed the goose who laid the golden egg, but an insatiable greed that devoured common sense. If there are damned souls in Hell, it is because men blind themselves.”
E.A. Bucchianeri
