"The threat to freedom in Germany does not come with violence and noise, but rather quietly. It comes with all sorts of justifications, often well-intentioned ones. For example, when it comes to civil rights. In times when we are all concerned about the threat of terrorism, when we all naturally have to do everything we can for our citizens so that they can live happy lives unharmed. In times like these, parties and politicians come along and say, 'Now is the time to once again gradually reduce civil rights, which always bother us a little anyway. Freedom always dies inch by inch, as Karl Herrman Flach once put it. And freedom does not die because of politicians, it does not die because politicians want to restrict civil rights and liberties, but rather it becomes dangerous for freedom when citizens forget their own immune system, which must arm them against any threat to freedom. And for me, that is the decisive self-image of our party. That we say: For us, the citizen comes first and then the state. Other parties trust the state first and only then trust the citizens. Under the pretext of creating security, every civil right can be called into question. Under the pretext that security requires it, every tightening of the law can be decided. We fight this wherever we can, in the federal government, in parliament, but ladies and gentlemen, we also need the citizens. We also need self-confident citizens who do not accept the statement: “If you have nothing to hide, you should not complain.” No, we want a nation of self-confident citizens, not subjects of the state." Guido Westerwelle

"It isn't a coincidence that governments everywhere want to educate children. Government education, in turn, is supposed to be evidence of the state's goodness and its concern for our well-being. The real explanation is less flattering. If the government's propaganda can take root as children grow up, those kids will be no threat to the state apparatus. They'll fasten the chains to their own ankles." Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.

"Fortunately, some are born with a spiritual immune system that sooner or later rejects the illusory worldview that has been grafted onto them from birth through social conditioning. They begin to sense that something is wrong, and the search for answers begins. Inner knowledge and abnormal external experiences show them a side of reality that others ignore, and so their journey to awakening begins. Each step of the journey is taken by following the heart rather than following the crowd, and by choosing knowledge rather than the veils of ignorance." Henri-Louis Bergson

"Peace is only got by peaceful methods. To fight the establishment with their own weapons is no good because they always win and they’ve been winning for thousands of years. They know how to play the game 'violence'. What they don’t know how to handle is peaceful humour" John Lennon

"People are different, but the truth is one, and all who seek it, in whatever field, help one another." Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
