Text Quotes
No democracy is born perfect, and none ever gets to be perfect. Yet democracy is superior to authoritarian and totalitarian regimes because, unlike them, democracy is perfectible (Totalitarian Quotes)
More people have been killed by totalitarian regimes, during times of peace, than in all the wars in the world combined (Totalitarian Quotes)
The history of totalitarian regimes is reflected in the evolution and perfection of the instruments of terror and more especially the police (Totalitarian Quotes)
If you say to people that they, as a matter of fact, can’t protect their conversations, in particular their political conversations, I think you take a long step toward making a transition from a free society to a totalitarian society (Totalitarian Quotes)
Of course, we knew that the official reports were sketchy, if not falsified. But, in terms of information theory, this is precisely where the problem lay: How were we to reconstruct reality from incomplete or false reports? It is not true that virtually all news in a totalitarian state is false. On the contrary, most news is completely correct, albeit tendentiously slanded; it is just that certain information is suppressed. One can adjust for the political slanting of the news, but there is virtually no way to fill in the omissions (Totalitarian Quotes)
Imagination is a danger thus every totalitarian regime is frightened of the artist. It is the vocation of the prophet to keep alive the ministry of imagination to keep on conjouring and proposing alternative futures to the single one the king wants to urge as the only thinkable one (Totalitarian Quotes)
There has never been a humane communist regime. Marxism is inherently totalitarian. It recognizes no moral limits on the state. It’s the most convenient ideology for aspiring tyrants; it also retains its appeal for intellectuals, who have proved equally skillful at rationalizing abuses of power and at exculpating themselves (Totalitarian Quotes)
The aim of totalitarian education has never been to instill convictions but to destroy the capacity to form any (Totalitarian Quotes)
One of the greatest advantages of the totalitarian elites of the twenties and thirties was to turn any statement of fact into a question of motive (Totalitarian Quotes)
Without freedom there will be no firearms among the people; without firearms among the people there will not long be freedom. Certainly there are examples of countries where the people remain relatively free after the people have been disarmed, but there are no examples of a totalitarian state being created or existing where the people have personal arms (Totalitarian Quotes)
We do not read in order to turn great works of fiction into simplistic replicas of our own realities, we read for the pure, sensual, and unadulterated pleasure of reading. And if we do so, our reward is the discovery of the many hidden layers within these works that do not merely reflect reality but reveal a spectrum of truths, thus intrinsically going against the grain of totalitarian mindsets (Totalitarian Quotes)
The savior who wants to turn men into angels is as much a hater of human nature as the totalitarian despot who wants to turn them into puppets (Totalitarian Quotes)
We should teach general ethics to both men and women, but sexual relationships themselves must not be policed. Sex, like the city streets, would be risk - free only in totalitarian regimes (Totalitarian Quotes)
It is hard, I submit, to loathe bloodshed, including war, more than I do, but it is still harder to exceed my loathing of the very nature of totalitarian states in which massacre is only an administrative detail (Totalitarian Quotes)
Journalism is the protection between people and any sort of totalitarian rule. That’s why my hero, admittedly a flawed one, is a journalist (Totalitarian Quotes)
The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it (Totalitarian Quotes)
Truth has been relegated to subjectivity; beauty has been subjugated to the beholder; and as millions are idiotized night after night, a global commune has been constructed with the arts enjoying a totalitarian rule (Totalitarian Quotes)
Inside many liberals is a totalitarian screaming to get out. They don’t like to have another point of view in the room that they don’t squash and the way they try to squash it is by character assassination and name calling (Totalitarian Quotes)
It is vain to fight totalitarianism by adopting totalitarian methods. Freedom can only be won by men unconditionally committed to the principles of freedom. The first requisite for a better social order is the return to unrestricted freedom of thought and speech (Totalitarian Quotes)
A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud (Totalitarian Quotes)
For the totalitarian mind, adherence to state propaganda does not suffice: one must display proper enthusiasm while marching in the parade (Totalitarian Quotes)
Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state (Totalitarian Quotes)
While an equality of rights under a limited government is possible and an essential condition of individual freedom, a claim for equality of material position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers (Totalitarian Quotes)
So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about as numb as a slave in a totalitarian state (Totalitarian Quotes)
It belongs among the refinements of totalitarian government in our century that they don't permit their opponents to die a great, dramatic martyr's death for their convictions (Totalitarian Quotes)
A claim for equality of material position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers (Totalitarian Quotes)
In the realm of totalitarian kitsch, all answers are given in advance and preclude any questions (Totalitarian Quotes)
If one holds these high principles clearly before one’s eyes, and compares them with the life and spirit of our times, then it appears glaringly that civilized mankind finds itself at present in grave danger. In the totalitarian states it is the rulers themselves who strive actually to destroy that spirit of humanity. In less threatened parts it is nationalism and intolerance, as well as the oppression of the individuals by economic means, which threaten to choke these most precious traditions (Totalitarian Quotes)
Totalitarian is a cliché, dictatorship is based on clichéd thinking, on very tried and tested uniform stuff. They don’t mind that they’re boring, they don’t mind that they’re obvious, their point is made (Totalitarian Quotes)
The nightmare in every democracy, the very nightmare, is if it gets worse and worse and worse, we could end up totalitarian (Totalitarian Quotes)
