Noam chomsky sayings

Here are some famous quotes by Noam Chomsky:

1. "If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."

2. "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum."

3. "Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so."

4. "The general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know."

5. "The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people."

6. "Education is a system of imposed ignorance."

7. "The whole educational and professional training system is a very elaborate filter, which just weeds out people who are too independent, and who think for themselves, and who don't know how to be submissive, and so on—because they're dysfunctional to the institutions."

8. "If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world."

9. "We shouldn't be looking for heroes, we should be looking for good ideas."

10. "The Bible is one of the most genocidal books in history."
