“You'll come back, because yours is an error of knowledge, not a moral failure, not an act of surrender to evil, but only the last act of being victim to your own virtue. We'll wait for you and when you come back, you will have discovered that there need never be any conflict among your desires, nor so tragic a clash of values as the one you've borne so well.” NeedsWellsLastsDesireValuesEvilWaitingMoralKnowledgeVirtueConflictVictimErrorsSurrenderTragicClashMoral Failure Author:Ayn Rand
“The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves. A truth's initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. It wasn't the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn't flat. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.” PeopleWorldWellsHas BeensSelfSeemsTruthLyingPerfectGenerationsMassIdealsVictimSlaveRoundsTyrannyFlatsSpeakersInitialsLunaticWebs Of Lies Author:Donald James
“The English government having determined not to respect my rights as a French citizen and officer, and summoned me before a court martial, I have been sentenced to death. I have served the Republic faithfully, and my death, as well as that of my brother, a victim like myself, and condemned in the same manner about a month ago, will sufficiently prove it. I have sacrificed for the Republic all that man holds dear - my wife, my children, my liberty, my life.” MenWellsChildrenHas BeensGovernmentLibertyWifeRightsBrotherMonthsCitizensRepublicanProveVictimCourtDearDeterminedMy WifeMy ChildrenMy BrotherRepublicOfficersProve ItEnglish Government Author:Wolfe Tone

“On their own, each [character] is a victim of no importance. But when you bring them together, they become a dangerous weapon. Jeanne is the vowel and Sophie the consonant. Psychologists know this phenomenon well. Each individual is harmless, but together they create an explosive chemical reaction. It's like Bonnie and Clyde, like Thelma and Louise.” KnowsWellsCharacterTogetherIndividualDangerousWeaponsImportanceVictimReactionsCraftsPhenomenonChemicalsPsychologistSophieExplosivesVowelsConsonantsChemical ReactionsThelma And Louise Author:Claude Chabrol
“I am not a Republican, nor a Democrat, nor an American, and got sense enough to know it. I am one of the 22 million black victims of the Democrats, and one of the 22 million black victims of the Republicans, and one of the 22 million black victims of Americanism... You and I have never seen democracy; all we've seen is hypocracy... If you go to jail, so what? If you're black, you were born in jail. If you're black, you were born in jail, in the North as well as the South. Stop talking about the South.
