Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it; one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know. – Walter Benjamin
Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of opinions exists, there may be moods – Hannah Arendt
Weve finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism, and they dont want to fight it. They would except that it would put them on the same side as the United States. – Ann Coulter
