"The master maker of the human body did not create you and then run off and leave you masterless. He stayed on the job as innate, as the fellow within, as nerve transmission controlling every function of life, as spirit from above-down, inside-out, expressing, creating, exploring, directing you in every field and phase of experience so that your home is truly the world and the world is your home." B. J. Palmer
Quote about money creation and debt by G. Edward GriffinCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"In truth, money is not created until the instant it is borrowed. It is the act of borrowing which causes it to spring into existence. And, incidentally, it is the act of paying off the debt that causes it to vanish." G. Edward Griffin
Inspirational quote by Johannes Kepler about passion for truth and scienceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Now, eighteen months after the first light, three months after the true day, but a very few days after the pure Sun of that most wonderful study began to shine, nothing restrains me; it is my pleasure to yield to the inspired frenzy, it is my pleasure to taunt mortal men with the candid acknowledgement that I am stealing the golden vessels of the Egyptians to build a tabernacle to my God from them, far, far away from the boundaries of Egypt. If you forgive me, I shall rejoice; if you are enraged with me, I shall bear it. See, I cast the die, and I write the book. Whether it is to be read by the people of the present or of the future makes no difference: let it await its reader for a hundred years, if God Himself has stood ready for six thousand years for one to study Him." Johannes Kepler

"How can we get our imaginations soaring again? We need to change our education system. In my opinion, we need to drastically reduce the curriculum so that young people can experiment with their thinking again." Hans-Peter Dürr

Brian Tracy quote about how clear goals and big goals fuel achievement and drive successCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement. The bigger your goals and the clearer they are, the more excited you become about achieving them. The more you think about your goals, the greater becomes your inner drive and desire to accomplish them." Brian Tracy
Neville Goddard quote about transformation beginning with desireCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"All transformation begins with an intense, burning desire to be transformed. The first step in the 'renewing of the mind' is desire. You must want to be different [and intend to be] before you can begin to change yourself. Then you must make your future dream a present fact. You do this by assuming the feeling of your wish fulfilled. By desiring to be other than what you are, you can create an ideal of the person you want to be and assume that you are already that person. If this assumption is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is inevitable." Neville Goddard
Quote image featuring Ivan Illich on how alternative stories can change societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Neither revolution nor reformation can ultimately change a society, rather you must tell a new powerful tale, one so persuasive that it sweeps away the old myths and becomes the preferred story, one so inclusive that it gathers all the bits of our past and our present into a coherent whole, one that even shines some light into the future so that we can take the next step… If you want to change a society, then you have to tell an alternative story." Ivan Illich
Ivan Illich quote about school and the institutionalization of lifeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"School prepares for the alienating institutionalization of life by teaching the need to be taught. Once this lesson is learned, people lose their incentive to grow in independence; they no longer find relatedness attractive, and close themselves off to the surprises which life offers when it is not predetermined by institutional definition." Ivan Illich
Ivan Illich quote about schools, knowledge, and educationCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Schools are designed on the assumption that there is a secret to everything in life; that the quality of life depends upon knowing that secret; that secrets can only be known in orderly successions; and that only teachers can properly reveal these secrets. An individual with a schooled mind conceives of the world as a pyramid of classified packages accessible only to those who carry the proper tags." Ivan Illich
Ivan Illich quote about education, learning, and schoolCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Most learning is not the result of instruction. It is rather the result of unhampered participation in a meaningful setting. Most people learn best by being "with it," yet school makes them identify their personal, cognitive growth with elaborate planning and manipulation." Ivan Illich
John Dewey quote about the isolation of school from everyday lifeCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"From the standpoint of the child, the great waste in the school comes from his inability to utilize the experiences he gets outside the school in any complete and free way within the school itself; while, on the other hand, he is unable to apply in daily life what he is learning at school. That is the isolation of the school — its isolation from life." John Dewey
Ludwig von Mises quote about genius, creativity, and self-made thinkersCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Society cannot contribute anything to the breeding and growing of ingenious men. A creative genius cannot be trained. There are no schools for creativeness. A genius is precisely a man who defies all schools and rules, who deviates from the traditional roads of routine and opens up new paths through land inaccessible before. A genius is always a teacher, never a pupil; he is always self-made." Ludwig von Mises
Allan Bloom quote image about education and the love of the beautifulCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"A good education would be devoted to encouraging and refining the love of the beautiful, but a pathologically misguided moralism instead turns such longing into a sin against the high goal of making everyone feel good, of overcoming nature in the name of equality. ... Love of the beautiful may be the last and finest sacrifice to radical egalitarianism." Allan Bloom
Paul Feyerabend quote about science as one of many instruments for coping with surroundingsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Science is only ‘one’ of the many instruments people invented to cope with their surroundings. It is not the only one, it is not infallible and it has become too powerful, too pushy and too dangerous to be left on its own." Paul Feyerabend
Paul Feyerabend quote about the academic world and individual freedomCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Yes, the academic world is screwed up, and there is nothing you can do about it. But don't worry about that. Just do what you want. If you know what you want to do and advocate for it, no one will put any energy into stopping you." Paul Feyerabend
Quote by Viktor Schauberger about science being controlled and a call for freedomCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I will return to my forest to die in peace. The whole of science and all its appendages are just a bunch of thieves hanging like marionettes on strings and having to dance to whatever tune their well-hidden slave masters deem necessary." Viktor Schauberger
Quote by Etienne de Harven discussing viral epidemics and the role of fearmongering by media and pharmaceutical industryCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"We are not witnessing viral epidemics; we are witnessing epidemics of fear. And both the media and the pharmaceutical industry carry most of the responsibility for amplifying fears, fears that happen, incidentally, to always ignite fantastically profitable business. Research hypotheses covering these areas of virus research are practically never scientifically verified with appropriate controls. Instead, they are established by "consensus." This is then rapidly reshaped into a dogma, efficiently perpetuated in a quasi-religious manner by the media, including ensuring that research funding is restricted to projects supporting the dogma, excluding research into alternative hypotheses. An important tool to keep dissenting voices out of the debate is censorship at various levels ranging from the popular media to scientific publications." Etienne de Harven
Oswald Spengler quote about power, freedom, democracy, and enslavementCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"To-day we live so cowed under the bombardment of this intellectual artillery that hardly anyone can attain to the inward detachment that is required for a clear view of the monstrous drama. The will-to-power operating under a pure democratic disguise has finished off its masterpiece so well that the object's sense of freedom is actually flattered by the most thorough-going enslavement that has ever existed." Oswald Spengler
Ray Kroc quote about risk, achievement, and economic freedomCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Achievement must be made against the possibility of failure, against the risk of defeat. It is no achievement to walk a tightrope laid flat on the floor. Where there is no risk, there can be no pride in achievement and, consequently, no happiness. The only way we can advance is by going forward, individually and collectively, in the spirit of the pioneer. We must take the risks involved in our free enterprise system. This is the only way in the world to economic freedom. There is no other way." Ray Kroc
David Icke quote about system power, non-cooperation, and acquiescenceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"If you're fighting the system, then you're still caught in it. It's not about fighting the system; it's about ceasing to hold it together. Non-cooperation. We cannot be imprisoned without our cooperation. Their power is in our acquiescence." David Icke
Tommy Lasorda quote about the evolution of medical care in baseballCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"I walk into the clubhouse today and it's like walking into the Mayo Clinic. We have four doctors, three therapists and five trainers. Back when I broke in, we had one trainer who carried a bottle of rubbing alcohol, and by the 7th inning he'd already drunk it." Tommy Lasorda
Ivan Illich quote about iatrogenic illness, hospital treatment, and medical complicationsCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The USDHEW calculates that 7% of all patients suffer compensable injuries while hospitalized .....One out of every five patients admitted to a typical research hospital acquires an iatrogenic (Caused by the treatment process) disease, one case in thirty leading to death. Half of these episodes result from complications of drug therapy; amazingly, one in ten come from diagnostic procedures." Ivan Illich
Edward Bernays quote image about media, public opinion, and invisible governmentCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"We have voluntarily agreed to let an invisible government sift the data and high-spot the outstanding issues so that our field of choice shall be narrowed to practical proportions. From our leaders and the media they use to reach the public, we accept the evidence and the demarcation of issues bearing upon public questions; from some ethical teacher, be it a minister, a favorite essayist, or merely prevailing opinion, we accept a standardized code of social conduct to which we conform most of the time." Edward Bernays
Albert Jay Nock quote image about the State and societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"The State always moves slowly and grudgingly towards any purpose that accrues to society's advantage, but moves rapidly and with alacrity towards one that accrues to its own advantage; nor does it ever move towards social purposes on its own initiative, but only under heavy pressure, while its motion towards anti-social purposes is self-sprung." Albert Jay Nock
Inspirational quote image attributed to Charles Wright Mills about moral autonomy and public issuesCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Above all, do not give up your moral and political autonomy by accepting in somebody else's terms the illiberal practicality of the bureaucratic ethos or the liberal practicality of the moral scatter. Know that many personal troubles cannot be solved merely as troubles, but must be understood in terms of public issues and in terms of the problems of history making." Charles Wright Mills
Thomas Sowell quote about theft, robbery, taxation, and social justiceCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"What do you call it when someone steals someone else's money secretly? Theft. What do you call it when someone takes someone else's money openly by force? Robbery. What do you call it when a politician takes someone else's money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social Justice." Thomas Sowell
David Graeber quote about student loans, youth, creativity, and societyCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Student loans are destroying the imagination of youth. If there’s a way of a society committing mass suicide, what better way than to take all the youngest, most energetic, creative, joyous people in your society and saddle them with, like ?,000 of debt so they have to be slaves? There goes your music. There goes your culture. There goes everything new that would pop out. And in a way, this is what’s happened to our society. We’re a society that has lost any ability to incorporate the interesting, creative and eccentric people." David Graeber
David Graeber quote about military power, world trade currency, and economic advantageCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"If you look at history, there seems to be a regular pattern: the country with the most powerful military also happens to be the one with the world trade currency. That gives them an enormous economic advantage, which causes goods to flow into their country." David Graeber
Albert Jay Nock quote about state money, government taxation, and the role of the StateCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Another strange notion pervading whole peoples is that the State has money of its own; and nowhere is this absurdity more firmly fixed than in America. The State has no money. It produces nothing. It existence is purely parasitic, maintained by taxation; that is to say, by forced levies on the production of others. 'Government money,' of which one hears so much nowadays, does not exist; there is no such thing." Albert Jay Nock
Hans-Hermann Hoppe quote about central banks, monetary experts, and government propagandaCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Thanks to the central bank, most "monetary experts" and "leading macro-economists" can, by putting them on the payroll, be turned into government propagandists "explaining," like alchemists, how stones (paper) can be turned into bread (wealth)." Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Ayn Rand quote about the difference between economic power and political powerCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork
/
"Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a reward, an incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means of a negative, by the threat of punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction. The businessman's tool is values; the bureaucrat's tool is fear." Ayn Rand
