“La necessitat que l'internacionalisme no siga marginal i escapista justifica l'afirmació que, a Catalunya, l'internacionalisme efectiu o solidari comença per l'actitud que es pren davant del País Valencià. No crec massa exagerat afirmar que el 99.9% dels catalans (inclosos els que tenen consciència nacional) coneixen molt poc la societat valenciana (i, sovint, gens). Davant d'aquesta situació, convé dir que qui és ignorant d'una societat no hi pot ser solidari.”

“In modern industrial society only minimal effort is necessary to satisfy one’s physical needs. It is enough to go through a training program to acquire some petty technical skill, then come to work on time and exert the very modest effort needed to hold a job. The only requirements are a moderate amount of intelligence and, most of all, simple OBEDIENCE.”

“Population genetics calculations suggest that in 5 million years (one million years longer than the alleged time between Ambulocetus and Rodhocetus), animals with generation lines of about ten years (typical of whales) could substitute no more than about 1,700 mutations.6 This is not nearly enough to generate the new information that whales need for aquatic life, even assuming that all the hypothetical information-adding mutations required for this could somehow arise. (And as shown in chapter 9, real science shows that this cannot occur.)”

“In regard to propaganda the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or it might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies—the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.”
