When totalitarian regimes are established, they at least have the illusion of the single-minded purpose. But once they establish the stature that's necessary for a totalitarian regime, they tend to flail.

Masha Gessen

Humor is always important. There are people who help us deal with difficulty or hardship; from the concentration camps to the court jester, there was a need for humor. As long as these kinds of things exist, with repressive regimes, you need it to deal with the weight of daily life.

Maz Jobrani

Without a deal [with Iran], the international sanctions regime will unravel with little ability to reimpose them. With this deal, we have the possibility of peacefully resolving a major threat to regional and international security. Without a deal, we risk even more war in the Middle East and other countries in the region would feel compelled to pursue their own nuclear programs, threatening a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region in the world.

Barack Obama

Why is it that we remember with difficulty and without difficulty forget? Learn with difficulty and without difficulty remain ignorant?

Saint Augustine

Few times in history do totalitarian or authoritarian regimes successfully repress their people for more than two generations, and zero times in history do these regimes last much longer than that, relatively speaking.

Daniel Lubetzky

International regimes, international treaties, international norms are observed not because of the goodness of anybody but because they bring benefits. If they don't, then the longevity of those agreements come into jeopardy.

Mohammad Javad Zarif

I've opposed black regimes and white regimes, leftist regimes and rightist regimes. I'm close to Aristide because I have respect for him, but all that is beside the point.

Randall Robinson

The seeds of totalitarian regimes are nurtured by misery and want.

Harry S. Truman

There is no need to give in to the compromise that totalitarian regimes always count on.

Svetlana Alexievich

I've always been fascinated by totalitarian regimes. I'm not an admirer of them.

Sue Townsend

Liberals have been committed to the principles of human rights, international stability, and international justice. They have also sought international solutions to those problems which have demanded collective attention.

Charles Kennedy

The Fed has become an accomplice in the support of totalitarian regimes throughout the world.

G. Edward Griffin

There is an absolutely fundamental hostility on the part of totalitarian regimes toward religion.

Jeane Kirkpatrick

Advances in the technology of telecommunications have proved an unambiguous threat to totalitarian regimes everywhere.

Rupert Murdoch

The history of totalitarian regimes is reflected in the evolution and perfection of the instruments of terror and more especially the police.

Carl Joachim Friedrich

For good or for bad, India has rejected a more totalitarian approach to how it will deal with its social problems. We would starve but we would not give up our democracy and our love for our freedoms and to deal with these problems in an atmosphere of democracy and the rule of law without necessarily going, sort of resorting to civil disobedience or any kind of violent revolution.
