“Human beings today… are surrounded by huge institutions we can never penetrate: the City, the banking system, political advertising conglomerates, vast entertainment enterprises. They’ve made themselves user friendly, but they define the tastes to which we conform. They’re rather subtle, subservient tyrants, but no less sinister for that”. –J.G. Ballard

“Senator Smoot is an institute Not to be bribed with pelf; He guards our homes from erotic tomes By reading them all himself”. –Ogden Nash

“The great task of our time is to blow up all existing institutions — to destroy”. –Henrik Ibsen

“Tin-pot dictators have ravaged Asia, Latin America, and Africa. In the aftermath, they have done more to promote communism than the works of Marx and Engels, Lenin, and Mao.
