“We must conclude that it is not only a particular political ideology that has failed, but the idea that men and women could ever define themselves in terms that exclude their spiritual needs.”
Salman Rushdie
“Ideology... is indispensable in any society if men are to be formed, transformed and equipped to respond to the demands of their conditions of existence.”
Louis Althusser
“Those looking for ideology in the White House should consider this: For the men who rule our world, rules are for other people.”
Naomi Klein
“What persuades men and women to mistake each other from time to time for gods or vermin is ideology. One can understand well enough how human beings may struggle and murder for good material reasons -- reasons connected, for instance, with their physical survival. It is much harder to grasp how they may come to do so in the name of something as apparently abstract as ideas. Yet ideas are what men and women live by, and will occasionally die for.”
Terry Eagleton
“Unjust laws have to be fought ideologically; they cannot be fought or corrected by means of mere disobedience and futile martyrdom”
Ayn Rand
“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.”
Edward Abbey
“Unhappy, let alone angry, religious people provide more persuasive arguments for atheism and secularism than do all the arguments of atheists.”
Dennis Prager
