Carl Sagan: There are naïve questions, tedious questions, ill-phrased questions, questions put after inadequate self-criticism. But every question is a cry to understand the world. There is no such thing as a dumb question. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3775


Dear Abby: There is no such thing as a stupid question if it's sincere. Better to ask and risk appearing stupid than to continue on your ignorant way and make a stupid mistake. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3776





Jonathan V. Last: A journalistic institution exists to serve its audience by giving them the clearest possible understanding of reality. The first duty of a journalistic institution is not to be “fair” to the politicians it covers. It is to make certain that its audience is presented an accurate view of reality. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3779


Mao Zedong: In the world today all culture, all literature and art belong to definite classes and are geared to definite political lines. There is in fact no such thing as art for art's sake, art that stands above classes, art that is detached from or independent of politics. Proletarian literature and art are part of the whole proletarian revolutionary cause; they are, as Lenin said, cogs and wheels in the whole revolutionary machine. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3780


Mao Zedong: Revolutionary culture is a powerful revolutionary weapon for the broad masses of the people. It prepares the ground ideologically before the revolution comes and is an important, indeed essential, fighting front in the general revolutionary front during the revolution. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3781


Mao Zedong: All our literature and art are for the masses of the people, and in the first place for the workers, peasants and soldiers; they are created for the workers, peasants and soldiers and are for their use. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3782


Mao Zedong: Our literary and art workers must accomplish this task and shift their stand; they must gradually move their feet over to the side of the workers, peasants and soldiers, to the side of the proletariat, through the process of going into their very midst and into the thick of practical struggles and through the process of studying Marxism and society. Only in this way can we have a literature and art that are truly for the workers, peasants and soldiers, a truly proletarian literature and art. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3783



Aaron Bushnell: I've realized that a lot of the difference between me and my less radical friends is that they are less capable of imagining a better world than I am. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote3785
