“Under tyranny it is right to be a rebel!”
“We, alone on earth, can rebel against the tyranny of the selfish replicators.”
“Tyranny is a form of perversion. We come to love it. Every government is a tyranny to a degree, and the more evil it is, the more it is loved. The difficulty lies in judging the degree of tyranny under which you live.”
“Under conditions of tyranny it is far easier to act than to think. ”
“Rebels are simply oppressed individuals demanding their rights.”
“It seems that the rebels found the chaos of transition more difficult to accept than the tyranny they had known before. They joyfully welcomed back authority-even oppressive authority-for it was less painful for them than uncertainty.”
