There’s something outrageously funny about the bold-faced lying that’s going on, in a general way. Just the blatant denial of facts, whether it’s climate change or crowd sizes. Every day, there’s another blatant lie. I think there’s comedy in there somewhere. Matt Walsh

Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division; and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts. Joseph Stalin

Knowledge is power only if man knows what facts not to bother with. Robert Staughton Lynd
