Frank Zappa: A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5957
Frank Zappa: Well I think that progress is not possible without deviation. And I think that it's important that people be aware of some of the creative ways in which some of their fellow men are deviating from the norm, because in some instances they might find these deviations inspiring and might suggest further deviations which might cause progress, you never know. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5958
Frank Zappa: We live in a very special time right now. At no other time in history has there been such mass disillusionment in terms of reliance on governing functions. Most people don’t want to come to terms with that. It’s been proven over and over again that the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes, but most people don’t like to look at naked emperors. In the process of turning around to avert their eyes, they saw the discotheques and a few other things and latched onto them. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5959

Bible: Such people are false apostles, dishonest workers who are masquerading as apostles of the Messiah.(a) 14 And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 So it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their doom(b) will match their deeds! https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5962

Deng Xiaoping: I am convinced that more and more people will come to believe in Marxism, because it is a science.

Võ Nguyên Giáp: They mounted nearly 100,000 strikes against our beloved North Viet Nam, using more than one million tons of bombs and shells. They tried all kinds of hardware in their arsenal such as bombs and shells, rockets, steel-pellet bombs, napalm and magnetic bombs, and all the other most up-to-date and murderous weapons at their disposal short of nuclear ones. The U.S. imperialists thought that with their modern air and naval forces and the huge amount of bombs and shells which they believed nothing would resist, they could easily achieve their strategic objectives and finally subdue our people and bring to fruition their scheme of neo-colonialist aggression. But they were grossly mistaken. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5992
