Quote by Scholastique Mukasonga

“So you still want to do what you said?' 'More than ever! Now that I'm a heroine, and you too, they'll say it's another one of our exploits, and believe me, it will be.' 'You know very well it's all based on your lies.' 'It's not lies, it's politics.”

“This is a world of lies and always has been. We live in a time of even greater deceptions than in centuries past. So much of what we're told, what we see on TV, what we read in the newspapers or on the Internet, is invented to conceal the truth, protect the wicked, increase the power of those who already have more power than all the kings of history combined." "I don't disagree," she said. "But what does that have to do with the price of a pistol?”

“İnsan çoğu zaman “eksikliğini hissettiği ama arzulamaktan vazgeçemediği” şeylerin peşindedir. Ancak bazen de “elde ettiği ama sahip olmaya katlanamadığı” şeylerle yüzleşir. Nadiren her ikisinin de geçerli olduğu bir şeyle karşılaşırız. Ve işte aşk, tam da böyle bir şeydir.”

“The French Philosopher of the 16th and the 17th Century, Rene Descartes, had said: "If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things." This is the best way for the public to approach whatever it perceives. The only way to resist to deceit. Education and knowledge can help people be more skeptics, but everyone could start by doubting everything and not believing anything. Even the things that seem too obvious or too reliable. I've noticed a tendency to this direction, but I don't know how broad it is. It has to broaden; for humanity's sake. For truth's sake.”
