Text Quotes
If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory, you don't have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far reaching insights into the way the world works (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Resistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
The major advances in speed of communication and ability to interact took place more than a century ago. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph was far more radical than that from telephone to email! (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
The only justification for repressive institutions is material and cultural deficit. But such institutions, at certain stages of history, perpetuate and produce such a deficit, and even threaten human survival (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
All public resources go to the rich. The poor, if they can survive in the labor market, fine. Otherwise, they die. That’s economics in a nutshell (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Nothing in these abstract economic models actually works in the real world. It doesn’t matter how many footnotes they put in, or how many ways they tinker around the edges. The whole enterprise is totally rotten at the core: it has no relation to reality (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
A drone strike is a terror weapon, we don’t talk about it that way. It is; just imagine you are walking down the street and you don’t know whether in 5 minutes there is going to be an explosion across the street from some place up in the sky that you can’t see. Somebody will be killed, and whoever is around will be killed, maybe you’ll be injured if you’re there. That is a terror weapon. It terrorizes villages, regions, huge areas. It’s the most massive terror campaign going on by a long shot (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
It’s as if we’re higher apes who had a language faculty inserted (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
As long as nuclear weapons exist, the chances of survival of the human species are quite slight (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
The basic principle, rarely violated, is that what conflicts with the requirements of power and privilege does not exist (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
We are entering a period of human history that may provide an answer to the question of whether it is better to be smart than stupid (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
As long as each individual is facing the television tube alone, formal freedom poses no threat to privilege (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Capitalism denies the right to live. You have only the right to remain on the labour market (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
... the media serve the interests of state and corporate power, which are closely interlinked, framing their reporting and analysis in a manner supportive of established privilege and limiting debate and discussion accordingly (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
The ideal is to create a completely fragmented atomized society where everybody is totally alone, doing nothing but trying to pursue created wants, and the wants are created (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
If you sell me a car, we have perhaps made a good bargain for ourselves. But there are effects of this transaction on others, which we do not take into account. There is more pollution, the price of gas goes up, there is more congestion (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
With government deregulation and the triumph of financial liberalization, the dangers of systemic risks, the possibility of a financial tsunami, sharply increased (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
I’m into eating as little as possible... I never cook. Never use the stove or anything (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
I don’t buy much. Almost buy nothing. I buy what I need, do it the easiest way possible (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
The big change, the really radical change in communication, was in the late 19th century. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph is astronomical. Everything since then has been small increments, including the internet (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Small changes can magnifiy. The possibility of interpersonal communication has increased substantially with contemporary technology. But as compared with the major changes, which were long ago, these are not huge (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Education is not for profit. If you’re not in education for profit, it’s not going to be a fair critique for education (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
A language is not just words. It’s a culture, a tradition, a unification of a community, a whole history that creates what a community is. It’s all embodied in a language (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Occupying armies have responsibilities, not rights. Their primary responsibility is to withdraw as quickly and expeditiously as possible, in a manner determined by the occupied population (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Descriptive grammar is an attempt to give an account of what the current system is for either a society or an individual, whatever you happen to be studying (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
You never need an argument against the use of violence, you need an argument for it (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Social and political issues in general seem to me fairly simple; the effort to obfuscate them in esoteric and generally vacuous theory is one of the contributions of the intelligentsia to enhancing their own power and the power of those they serve (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
