"A truth’s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. It wasn’t the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn’t flat. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic."
James Dresden (No one seems to know the source of the quote. Dresden James is thought to be Donald James Wheal who was a British television writer, novelist and non-fiction writer.)
"Die Anfangserschütterung einer Wahrheit ist direkt proportional zu dem, wie sehr die Lüge geglaubt wird. Es war nicht die Tatsache, dass die Welt rund ist, was die Leute aufgeregt hat, sondern dass die Welt nicht flach ist. Wenn ein gut-verpacktes Netz von Lügen allmählich an die Massen über Generationen verkauft worden ist, scheint die Wahrheit äußerst unsinnig und sein Sprecher ein irrender Verrückter"
