Finished an amazing book yesterday called Flashback by Dan Simmons. It was a tad scary, mainly because it could very well happen in my life time. Anyhow, there are a couple quotes from it that i’d like to share. Got me thinking.
“Forces in history act beyond human reason, that none of us are free but consciousness creates in us the illusion of freedom and free will, that since free will is an illusion, history must find its true laws, and even that personality depends upon time, space, emotion and casualty.”
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
