"If the meanings of true and false were switched, this sentence wouldn't be false." – Douglas Hofstadter

"Fear and destructiveness are the major emotional sources of fascism, eros belongs mainly to democracy." – Theodor Adorno, et al. in The 'Authoritarian Personality' (1950).

"The word generalization in literature usually means covering too much territory too thinly to be persuasive, let alone convincing.
