• Los astrólogos estaban muy impresionados, y engañados, por lo que creían que eran pruebas confirmatorias, hasta el punto de que no se dejaban impresionar por ninguna prueba desfavorable. Además, al hacer sus interpretaciones y profecías lo suficientemente vagas, eran capaces de explicar cualquier cosa que pudiera haber sido una refutación de la teoría si la teoría y las profecías hubieran sido más precisas. Para escapar a la falsificación, destruyeron la posibilidad de probar su teoría. Es un truco típico de los adivinos predecir cosas tan vagamente que las predicciones difícilmente pueden fallar: que se vuelvan irrefutables.

• ¡Oh sancta simplicitas! ¡En qué extraña simplificación y falsificación vive la humanidad! ¡Uno nunca puede dejar de maravillarse una vez que ha adquirido ojos para esta maravilla! ¡Cómo hemos hecho todo lo que nos rodea brillante y libre y fácil y sencillo! ¡Cómo hemos sabido otorgar a nuestros sentidos un pasaporte para todo lo superficial, a nuestros pensamientos un deseo divino para el juego desenfrenado y las falsas conclusiones! - ¡Cómo hemos comprendido desde el principio cómo conservar nuestra ignorancia para gozar de una libertad casi inconcebible, de frivolidad, de impetuosidad, de valentía, de alegría de vivir, para gozar de la vida!

  Friedrich Nietzsche

• Younger people who are being indoctrinated into the contemporary system of falsification - they really have to do some research to find out what is the truth. In the general population, people forget or don't care that much. And gradually what you hear drilled into your head everyday comes to be believed. People don't understand what you're talking about any more if you discuss the American war on South Vietnam.

• I myself was to experience how easily one is taken in by a lying and censored press and radio in a totalitarian state... a steady diet over the years of falsifications and distortions made a certain impression on one's mind and often misled it.

• My parents often wondered why I would grow so indignant at the falsification and exploitation of the Nazi genocide. The most obvious answer is that it has been used to justify criminal policies of the Israeli state and US support for these policies.

• Si se desea esta "actitud crítica y abierta" ..., surge de inmediato la pregunta: ¿es la ciencia lo que hay que estudiar para conseguirla? ¿Por qué no estudiar Derecho? Un juez tiene que hacer todo lo que se le pide a un científico, es decir, abstenerse de juzgar hasta que se conozcan todos los hechos y, a continuación, juzgar imparcialmente sobre el fondo del caso lo mejor que pueda. ... ¿Por qué no un curso sobre Sherlock Holmes? Los detectives, o al menos los escritores de novelas policíacas, se unen a los científicos para censurar "los prejuicios dogmáticos, la mentira, la falsificación de hechos y datos, y el razonamiento falaz intencionado".

• All the proliferating falsifications of what I and everyone I know experienced once in what it is now so convenient to call the "fifties" or "sixties," as if life was really measured or lived in arbitrary decades, when the history books are sold like comix.

• We are effectively destroying ourselves by violence masquerading as love. I am a specialist, God help me, in events in inner space and time, in experiences called thoughts, images, reveries, dreams, visions, hallucinations, dreams of memories, memories of dreams, memories of visions, dreams of hallucinations, refractions of refractions of refractions of that original Alpha and Omega of experience and reality, that Reality on whose repression, denial, splitting, projection, falsification, and general desecration and profanation our civilisation as much as anything is based.

• All Jesus' pictures are falsifications; they cannot be about the real Jesus. This real man must have been totally different, because we know he enjoyed drinking - it is impossible to think of a person who enjoys drinking and not laughing. He enjoyed women - it is difficult to think of a man who enjoys women and not laughing. He was friendly, almost in love, with a prostitute, Mary Magdalene. It is difficult to move with a prostitute - he was not moving with a Catholic monk, not with a priest, not with the Pope... with a prostitute! These were the condemnations against him.
