Bertrand Russell
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.

Joseph Goebbels
“Idleness is the parent of all psychology”
