Nikita S. Khrushchev: Our Party will mercilessly crush the band of traitors and betrayers, and wipe out all the Trotskyist-Right dregs.... The guarantee of this is the unshakable leadership of our Central Committee, the unshakable leadership of our leader Comrade Stalin....We shall totally annihilate the enemies — to the last man — and scatter their ashes to the winds. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Malcolm X: The greatest weapon the colonial powers have used in the past against our people has always been divide-and-conquer. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
C'est un ami très, très intime - il ne faut pas s'aviser de dire du mal de moi devant lui. Il ne faut pas en dire trop de bien non plus - pitié pour lui! - c'est un ami très, très intime.
Citation mentionnée dans "Encyclopédie des citations" (1959) comme rattachée à l'ouvrage "Toutes Réflexions Faites" de Sacha Guitry, tome I (alors qu'il n'y a qu'un seul tome) alors qu'elle ne s'y trouve pas!
En fait, cette citation est extraite d'une interview de Sacha Guitry accordée à des journalistes à la fin d'une représentation de sa pièce de Théâtre "Une folie" au Théâtre Royal du Parc à Bruxelles en mars 1952:
|Si ceux qui disent du mal de moi savaient exactement ce que je pense d'eux, ils en diraient bien davantage.|
Lenin: Dictatorship is state power based directly on violence. And in the twentieth century—as in the age of civilisation generally—violence means neither a fist nor a club, but troops. To put “disarmament” in the programme is tantamount to making the general declaration: We are opposed to the use of arms. There is as little Marxism in this as there would be if we were to say: We are opposed to violence! wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Benjamin Disraeli: The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Citation déformée extraite de "The Soul of Man under Socialism" (L'âme de l'homme sous le socialisme), essai d'Oscar Wilde publié en 1891 défendant une vision individualiste libertaire dans un monde socialiste.
Extrait de "L'âme de l'homme sous le socialisme", essai d'Oscar Wilde publié en 1891:
Avec l'abolition de la propriété privée, nous aurons donc un véritable, beau et sain individualisme. Personne ne perdra sa vie à accumuler des choses et des symboles pour des choses. On vivra. Vivre est la chose la plus rare au monde. La plupart des gens existent, c'est tout. La question est de savoir si nous avons jamais vu la pleine expression d'une personnalité, sauf sur le plan imaginatif de l'art. Dans l'action, nous ne l'avons jamais vu. César, dit Mommsen, était l'homme complet et parfait.
|Vivre est la chose la plus rare. La plupart des gens se contente d'exister.|
Franklin D. Roosevelt: The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Friedrich Engels: The great basic thought that the world is not to be comprehended as a complex of readymade things, but as a complex of processes, in which the things apparently stable no less than their mind images in our heads, the concepts, go through an uninterrupted change of coming into being and passing away, in which, in spite of all seeming accidentally and of all temporary retrogression, a progressive development asserts itself in the end — this great fundamental thought has, especially since the time of Hegel, so thoroughly permeated ordinary consciousness that in this generality it is now scarcely ever contradicted. But to acknowledge this fundamental thought in words and to apply it in reality in detail to each domain of investigation are two different things. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Laurie Halse Anderson: Censorship is the child of fear the father of ignorance and the desperate weapon of fascists everywhere. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Thomas Sankara: Prostitution is nothing but the microcosm of a society where exploitation is a general rule. It is a symbol of the contempt men have for women. (…) There can be prostitutes only as long as there are pimps and those who seek prostitutes. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: A slave who has become conscious of his slavery and has risen to struggle for his emancipation has already half ceased to be a slave. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
John Heywood: There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Vladimir Putin: Mankind has been manipulated to become “unconscious” through the use of programming by media and politics. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Maurice Bishop: That secret State Dept report made this point…the Grenadian Revolution is in one sense worse than the Cuban & Nicaraguan revolutions…because the people of Grenada & the leadership speaks English and therefore can directly communicate with the people of the USA. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Assata Shakur: I have declared war on the rich who prosper on our poverty, the politicians who lie to us with smiling faces, and all the mindless, heartless, robots who protect them and their property. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Lenin: If I know that I know little, I shall strive to learn more; but if a man says that he is a Communist and that he need not know anything thoroughly, he will never become anything like a Communist. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Arthur Scargill: I say to the people of Britain, if you stand aside while miners are beaten to the ground by a paramilitary police force in riot gear - what they do to us today they’ll do to you tomorrow. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Joseph Patrick Kennedy: Politics is like war. It takes three things to win. The first is money and the second is money and the third is money. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
