"It's dangerous to be right when the government is wrong."
- Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire (1694 1778)
"It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people."
- Giordano Bruno (1548-1600)
"Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one's government is not necessarily to secure freedom."

"If this law will have gone into fulfillment at last so the last Spartacus can come out of his sanctuary of the darkness and triumphing on the bright day show. No empire, no law will be more available (...) about the nations and their God, and about the middle class society and about the laws the pronounced curse will change our altars, our palaces, our cities, monuments and arts, and our farmer huts even into ash (...). The Devils will climb from the hell in order to consider this creation of the Illuminati codex; and the Satan will be able to say: there they are now the people as me wanted to have."

- Public opinion of Munich's civil society about the Illuminati
(18th century)
"When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong. The minority are right."

"The cosmos is a gigantic flywheel making 10,000 revolutions per minute. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it."
- H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
