Famous Andrew Orange Quotes

“Most people are robots-executors, not very much unlike animals. They are not even aware of the true motives of their behavior. They make the majority among simples, and among vors, and among outs. On the other hand, there is a minority, robots-rulers, who are aware of themselves, of the motives of their actions, and are able to control them to a certain extent. This is the only real freedom available to people.”

“If there is no God, then there is no freedom. And no democracy either.” Katrina paused and added, “The ancients made two serious mistakes. First, they put society above the soul of each human and moral principles. Second, they began to understand society as a biological population. The strongest and most aggressive scums inevitably ended up at the top. They decided what was ‘common good’, and everyone else was turned into slaves.”

“If some fools believe in gods, demons, magic, black cats, and other nonsense, that’s not such a big deal. It’s even useful. Let them play. But if people like you begin to believe in these fantasies, then it’s an alarming symptom. There’s nothing more dangerous for a stable society than an intelligent, active idealist who fancies whatever he might.”
