Quote #8 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Learning and The State
“Governments, to maintain themselves, diligently exercise a hypnotic influence upon the people. And, therefore, we may help to prevent people killing either Kings or one another, not by killing -- murder only increases the hypnotism -- but by arousing people from their hypnotic condition.
And it is this I have tried to do by these remarks.”
Source: "'Thou Shalt Not Kill'," by Leo Tolstoy, August 8, o.s., 1900.
