Každá generácia si myslí, že je inteligentnejšia než tá predošlá, a múdrejšia ako tá nasledujúca.

George Orwell (1903–1950) English author and journalist

Review of A Coat of Many Colours: Occasional Essays by Herbert Read, Poetry Quarterly (Winter 1945)
Kontext: Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it. This is an illusion, and one should recognise it as such, but one ought also to stick to one's own world-view, even at the price of seeming old-fashioned: for that world-view springs out of experiences that the younger generation has not had, and to abandon it is to kill one's intellectual roots.

George Carlin fotka

“It’s called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it.”
Hovorí sa tomu americký sen, pretože musíte spať, aby ste tomu uverili.

George Carlin (1937–2008) American stand-up comedian

Life Is Worth Losing (2005)
Kontext: They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin’ years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your fuckin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later 'cause they own this fuckin' place. It’s a big club and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club.... The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice.... And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it.

Ernest Hemingway fotka

“Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.”
Nikdy si nemyslite, že vojna, bez ohľadu na to, či je potrebná alebo opodstatnená, nie je zločinom.

Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) American author and journalist

Introduction to Treasury of the Free World (1946)

Kontext: An aggressive war is the great crime against everything good in the world. A defensive war, which must necessarily turn to aggressive at the earliest moment, is the necessary great counter-crime. But never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.

Albert Einstein fotka

“Setting an example is not the main means of influencing others, it is the only means.”
Byť príkladom ostatným nie je hlavným, ale jediným prostriedkom, ako ovplyvniť ostatných.

Albert Einstein (1879–1955) German-born physicist and founder of the theory of relativity

The original: "Example is not the main thing. It is the only thing. That is, if the one giving the example is not saying to himself, 'Behold I am giving an example." That spoils it. Anyone thinking of the example he will give to others has lost his simplicity. Only as a man has simplicity can his example influence others" is a quote by Albert Schweitzer, from a 1952 interview in United Nations World magazine https://books.google.com/books?id=qTAoAAAAMAAJ&q=%22example+is+not+the+main+thing%22&dq=%22example+is+not+the+main+thing%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjz7f_2v6vMAhUJxmMKHeEAB-QQ6AEIHDAA.
