I had a good idea to start a thread containing all kinds of quotes by famous people or just quotes you find very meaningful in some way or another.

I'll start it off by posting a few.

My favorites come from Orwells 1984:

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

"WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH"

Sanity is not statistical

And a few others from my other favorite book, A Clockwork Orange:

"Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses to be bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?"

"If a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man."

If the law is of such a nature that it requires you to be an agent of injustice to another, then I say, break the law.
-Henry Thoreau?

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
-Voltaire

Jester reminded me of these with Orwell. So good he gets two from a single book a few pages(?) apart.

"ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL
BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS."

and

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

I'm not saying the book they came from

Animal Farm?

"Say Hello To My Little Friend" everybody should know this one

Our youth now loves luxuries. They have bad manners, contempt for authority. They show disrespect for elders and they love to chatter instead of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants, of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food, and tyrannize their teachers.
