"Education [and therefore the equal opportunity for education] then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men [and women, regardless of their initial circumstances], the balance-wheel of the social machinery.

[Quote No.41596] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Reading, hearing and debating views contrary to our own can be very beneficial. Why? Because...] Even the reader unconvinced by my arguments should find that, in the process of maintaining and supporting his view, he has clarified and deepened it. Moreover, I like to think, intellectual honesty demands that, occasionally at least, we go out of our way confront strong arguments opposed to our views. How else are we to protect ourselves from continuing in error? It seems only fair to remind the reader that intellectual honesty has its dangers; arguments read perhaps at first in curious fascination may come to convince and even to seem natural and intuitive. Only the refusal to listen guarantees one against being ensnared by the truth...
[Also] It may be that correctness in ethics [or in any other area] is not found in what we naturally think. [Our intuitive conclusions may in fact surprise us in that they do not 'hold water' even to ourselves when we try to take them apart and explain them persuasively to someone else!]" - Robert Nozick
(1938 – 2002), American political philosopher, most prominent in the 1970s and 1980s. He was a professor at Harvard University. He is best known for his book 'Anarchy, State, and Utopia' (1974), a libertarian answer to John Rawls's 'A Theory of Justice' (1971). Quote from his book, 'Anarchy, State, and Utopia'.

[Quote No.41701] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[The unalienable human right to freedom, includes the right to free speech:] By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right implies also a duty: one must not conceal any part of what on has recognized to be true. It is evident that any restriction on academic freedom acts in such a way as to hamper the dissemination of knowledge among the people and thereby impedes national judgment and action." - Albert Einstein
Famous physicist.

"[Freedom of speech, expression, the press and censorship:] If this [or any] nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our [human] destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. These libraries should be open to all - except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms. Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. For the Bill of Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our liberty." - John F. Kennedy

[Quote No.41787] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression, the press and censorship - within Stalinist communist Russia:] Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don't let our people have guns. Why should we let them have ideas?" - Joseph Stalin
(1878 – 1953), Premier of the Soviet Union from 6 May 1941 to 5 March 1953. He was among the Bolshevik revolutionaries who brought about the October Revolution in Russia in 1917 and later held the position of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Central Committee from 1922 until his death in 1953. While the office of the General Secretary was officially elective and not initially regarded as the top position in the Soviet state, Stalin managed to use it to consolidate more and more power in his hands after the death of Vladimir Lenin in 1924 and gradually put down all opposition groups within the Communist Party. This included Leon Trotsky, a socialist theorist and the principal critic of Stalin among the early Soviet leaders, who was exiled from the Soviet Union in 1929. Whereas Trotsky was an exponent of permanent revolution, it was Stalin's concept of socialism in one country that became the primary focus of Soviet politics.

[Quote No.41797] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Free speech, expression, the press and censorship: Control the press and you control all but the skeptical, free thinkers:] The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom." - Oswald Spengler
