Our epoch, the epoch of the bourgeoisie, posses however, this distinctive feature; it has simplified the class antagonisms. Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other.

Karl Marx

Perhaps the most significant moral characteristic of a nation is its hypocrisy.

Reinhold Niebuhr

Carlos was a character, a character fabricated by Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, fabricated by the secret services of the epoch, fabricated by the governments of the epoch, by the radical groups of the epoch, by the communications media.

Edgar Ramirez

At times the [radio telescope] records exhibited a feature characteristic of interference, occurring some time later than the passage of the two known sources.

We joked that it was probably due to the faulty ignition of some farm hand returning from a date.

Kenneth Franklin

Roland Barthes

Octavio Paz

In the midst of each epoch, I fully realize that a new epoch will dawn.

Marcel Duchamp

The epoch of individuality is concluded, and it is the duty of reformers to initiate the epoch of association. Collective man is omnipotent upon the earth he treads.

Giuseppe Mazzini

Conservatives are often fond of La Rochefoucauld's famous aphorism that 'Hypocrisy is a tribute that vice pays to virtue,' and so tend to downplay hypocrisy as a sin. But in the marketplace of ideas they champion, hypocrisy may yet turn out to be the deadliest - or costliest - of sins.

Bari Weiss

The characteristic feature of the loser is to bemoan, in general terms, mankind's flaws, biases, contradictions, and irrationality - without exploiting them for fun and profit
