I shall not be posting anything new on my blog for the next six weeks as I am travelling to the UK for Christmas. I have decided to share a list of all the quotes I have posted since 2017.
This is the first part of the list, quotes 1 to 10.
Enjoy.
Quote of the Day #1 – Malcolm X
“If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
Quote of the Day #2 – Gavin Nascimento
“A ‘democracy’ where 1% have more freedom than 99%, is really just as clever dictatorship that promotes enough ignorance and propaganda to convince the uneducated masses they are free.”
Quote of the Day #3 – H. L. Mencken
“Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”
Quote of the Day #4 – Nick Cohen
“The white left has issued its first fatwa.”
Quote of the Day #5 – Dayanand Saraswati
“Having thus given a cursory view of the Koran, I lay it before the sensible person with the purpose that they should know what kind of a book the Koran is. I have no hesitation to say that it cannot be the work of either God or of a learned man, nor can it be a book of knowledge. Here its very vital defect has been exposed with the object that people may not waste their life failing into its imposition. The Koran is the result of ignorance, the source of animalisation of human beings, a fruitful cause of destroying peace, an incentive to war, and a propagator of hostility among men and a promoter of suffering in society. As to defect of repetition, the Koran is its store.”
Quote of the Day #6 – Bruce Trigger
The Aztec pipiltin (noble class) “wore cotton clothes, sandals, feather work, and jade ornaments, lived in two-storey stone houses, ate the flesh of human sacrifices, drank chocolate and fermented beverages (in moderation) in public, kept concubines, entered the royal palace at will, could eat in the palace dining hall, and performed special dances at public rituals. They did not pay taxes.”
Quote of the Day #7 – The Simpsons
“Our students are highly-entitled wusses.”
Quote of the Day #8 – Jean-Luc Picard
“No being is so important that he can usurp the rights of another.”
Quote of the Day #9 – Gore Vidal
“Now to the root of the matter. The great unmentionable evil at the center of our culture is monotheism. From a barbaric Bronze Age text known as the Old Testament, three anti-human religions have evolved — Judaism, Christianity, Islam. These are sky-god religions. They are, literally, patriarchal — God is the omnipotent father — hence the loathing of women for 2,000 years in those countries afflicted by the sky-god and his earthly male delegates. The sky-god is a jealous god, of course. He requires total obedience from everyone on earth, as he is in place not for just one tribe but for all creation. Those who would reject him must be converted or killed for their own good. Ultimately, totalitarianism is the only sort of politics that can truly serve the sky-god’s purpose. Any movement of a liberal nature endangers his authority and that of his delegates on earth. One God, one King, one Pope, one master in the factory, one father-leader in the family home.”
Quote Of the Day #10 – Yusuf al-Qaradawi and update and update 2
“If they had gotten rid of the apostasy punishment Islam wouldn’t exist today.”
