"But liberty, as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on a
war footing, or even a near war footing. Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of
everything and everybody by the agencies of the central government"

- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited (end of first chapter.)

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to do the bidding of the
leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and
denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It

- Hermann Goering, Hitler’s designated successor, before being sentenced to death at the
Nuremberg trials.
