Today's quotes (and tomorrow's and next week's and...)

"Beware of the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch … the citizenry … will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How will I know? For this I have done. And I am Julius Caesar.”

“...we know what we know and we don't know what we don't know...” - Donald Rumsfeld

“We are each entitled to our own faulty interpretations of the truth.” - Jack Campion

“Reality! What a concept.” - Robin Williams
