“We are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago. We think were in the present, but we arent. The present we know is only a movie of the past.”

“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gullivers Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a childrens book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. Thats what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
“Our fear that Communism might some day take over most of the world blinds us to the fact that anti-communism already has.”
—Anonymous U.S. Analyst In 1967. Quoted in The Uses of Anticommunism, vol. 21, published in The Socialist Register (1985)
