Wednesday Short Cuts

Notable quotables from Krzysztof Kieslowski, Dennis Prager, Paul Ehrlich, and more.

Insight

“Why did they devise censorship? To show a world which doesn’t exist, an ideal world, or what they envisaged as the ideal world.” —Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski (1941-1996)

For the Record

“At the present time, China is the greatest threat to world stability, Russia is the world’s premier aggressor-nation and Islamist groups are the primary exporters of terror and (religious) totalitarianism. And, for the first time in history, America is the world’s major exporter of destructive ideas.” —Dennis Prager

“Education is there to teach you how to function successfully in a complex society, and when you lose sight of that, then you start saying, ‘Oh, we’ve got to concentrate on what kind of pronoun you use, and whether you’re really a girl or a boy, and are you a victim?’" —former Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson

Non Compos Mentis

"The rate of extinction is extraordinarily high now and getting higher all the time.” —biologist Paul Ehrlich

“Humanity is not sustainable. To maintain our lifestyle — yours and mine, basically — for the entire planet, you’d need five more Earths. Not clear where they’re gonna come from.” —Paul Ehrlich

The BIG Lies

“This is a president who has been working since day one to work on border security.” —White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre

“We do believe in the rule of law, and we will respect it. And we will honor that here from this administration.” —Karine Jean-Pierre

“The president is in good health. He is in — he’s very active. You see it for yourself with your own eyes.” —Karine Jean-Pierre

And Last…

“We reject this woke ideology. We seek normalcy, not philosophical lunacy. We will not allow reality, facts, and truth to become optional. We will never surrender to the woke mob.” —Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
