Aldous Huxley Zitate

Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the most eloquent denunciations.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Groß ist Wahrheit, aber noch praktischer ist Schweigen über die Wahrheit. Indem sie bestimmte Themen einfach nicht erwähnen, haben totalitäre Propagandisten die Meinung weitaus effektiver beeinflusst, als dies bei den eloquentesten Denunziationen der Fall gewesen wäre.

I know that two and two make four - and should be glad to prove it too if I could - though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure.

The notion that the levels of radiation would be damaging to human life is preposterous. It's simply not true. It is a political claim more than it is a scientific claim. THAAD has been a thoroughly tested system, and it has been extremely effective.

From the material point of view the proposal is unacceptable, for France, without further territory in Europe being taken from her, could be so crushed as to lose her position as a Great Power, and become subordinate to German policy.

From my father's point of view, without a thought for self, a true patriot stands up against the stones of condemnation and speaks for those who are given no real voice in the halls of justice or the halls of government.
