A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy. – Aldous Huxley
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad. – Aldous Huxley
Men do not learn much from the lessons of history and that is the most important of all the lessons of history. – Aldous Huxley
I think there is a heritage which Im proud of, which is a fight for democracy, a fight for social justice, a fight for freedom. My grandfather went to jail or exile six times in his life, fighting for his principles for democracy, or for his country. And my father twice. – George Papandreou
