The kind of work that should be the main part of life is the kind of work you would want to do if you weren’t being paid for it. It’s work that comes out of your own internal needs, interests and concerns (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Sports plays a societal role in engendering jingoist and chauvinist attitudes. They’re designed to organize a community to be committed to their gladiators (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Nobody is going to pour truth into your brain. It’s something you have to find out for yourself (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
It’s very common for the victims to understand a system better than the people who are holding the stick (Noam Chomsky Quotes)

The truth of the matter is that about 99 percent of teaching is making the students feel interestedin the material. Then the other 1 percent has to do with your methods. And that’s not just true of languages. It’s true of every subject (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
We should not be speaking to, but with. That is second nature to any good teacher (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Under capitalism, we can’t have democracy by definition. Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are in principle under autocratic control (Noam Chomsky Quotes)

The fact is that if you have not developed language, you simply don’t have access to most of human experience, and if you don’t have access to experience, then you’re not going to be able to think properly (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
The first step is to penetrate the clouds of deceit and distortion and learn the truth about the world, then to organize and act to change it. That’s never been impossible and never been easy (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
... jingoism, racism, fear, religious fundamentalism: these are the ways of appealing to people if you’re trying to organize a mass base of support for policies that are really intended to crush them (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
The rascal multitude are the proper targets of the mass media and a public education system geared to obedience and training in needed skills, including the skill of repeating patriotic slogans on timely occasions (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
There’s a good reason why nobody studies history, it just teaches you too much (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
Why should workers agree to be slaves in a basically authoritarian structure? They should have control over it themselves. Why shouldn’t communities have a dominant voice in running the institutions that affect their lives? (Noam Chomsky Quotes)
