“Most of the time, we see only what we want to see, or what others tell us to see, instead of really investigate to see what is really there. We embrace illusions only because we are presented with the illusion that they are embraced by the majority. When in truth, they only become popular because they are pounded at us by the media with such an intensity and high level of repetition that its mere force disguises lies and truths. And like obedient schoolchildren, we do not question their validity and swallow everything up like medicine. Why? Because since the earliest days of our youth, we have been conditioned to accept that the direction of the herd, and authority anywhere — is always right.”

“If achieving world peace and ending poverty were really genuine concerns to the majority, then they would have happened already by now. So, either people are not aware of their collective power, or their fears overpower their desires. The amount of money spent on the military-industrial complex in one year is more than enough to end hunger in Africa. Every problem on earth today has more than one solution. However, priorities are determined by values.”

“In a democracy, we should be reluctant to take any action that amounts to an attempt to coerce the majority, for such attempts imply the rejection of majority rule, to which there is no acceptable alternative. There may, of course, be cases where the majority decision is so appalling that coercion is justified, whatever the risk. The obligation to obey a genuine majority decision is not absolute. We show our respect for the principle, not by blind obedience to the majority, but by regarding ourselves as justified in disobeying only in extreme circumstances.”

“الشعور الديني أو القومي يتصاعد في أوقات المحن التي يشعر فيها أتباع تلك الأديان أو القوميات بالتهديد، هنالك قلة تنبذ المسألة برمتها لتتخلص من التهمة، ولكن الأغلبية تزداد تمسكاً بهويتها، وتعتبرها عنصراً من عناصر بقائها وقوتها. أدركت في تلك المرحلة، بأن الشعور الديني مجرد هوية تتراخى وتقوى وفقاً للظروف، وغالباً ما تكون الفئات المقموعة هي الأكثر تمسكاً بهويتها من أجل الحفاظ عليها، فيما تتراخى مثل تلك المشاعر تدريجاً لدى أتباع الفئات الحاكمة.”
