Quote

Mengistu seemed to symbolize the revolution. He was the baria, the slave who overthrew the master, the member of the conquered tribe who got even with the conquerors, the poorly educated son of a servant who rose against the intellectual elite.

From now on you must pray for your people and yourself three times a day.

Mengistu Haile Mariam Ethiopian Politician

Mengistu is a barbaric and cruel creature who becomes happy with the death of human beings.

Mengistu Haile Mariam Ethiopian Politician

Ethiopia did not have the same problem [of corruption]. African leaders looked at us with envy.

Mengistu Haile Mariam Ethiopian Politician

I was moving among two groups... who had almost ceased to communicate at all, who in intellectual, moral, and psychological climate had so little in common that... one might have crossed the ocean.

C.P. Snow Chemist

All observations point to the fact that the intellectual woman is masculinized; in her, warm, intuitive knowledge has yielded to cold unproductive thinking.

Helene Deutsch Psychoanalyst

Skepticism . . . is not intellectual only it is moral also, a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul.

Thomas Carlyle Philosopher

I soon began to sense a fundamental perceptual difficulty among male scholars (and some female ones) for which 'sexism' is too facile a term. It is really an intellectual defect, which might be termed 'patrivincialism' or patrochialism': the assumption that women are a subgroup, that men's culture is the 'real' world, that patriarchy is equivalent to culture and culture to patriarchy, that the 'great' or 'liberalizing' periods of history have been the same for women as for men.

Adrienne Rich Poet

The most powerful influence exercised by the Arabs on general natural physics was that directed to the advances of chemistry ; a science for which this race created a new era.(...) Besides making laudatory mention of that which we owe to the natural science of the Arabs in both the terrestrial and celestial spheres, we must likewise allude to their contributions in separate paths of intellectual development to the general mass of mathematical science.

Alexander Von Humboldt Naturalist

I come from a very la-ti-da East Coast intellectual family - or so they think.
