    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Some say that 'Technics' should be pronounced 'Techniques'.

    The first time I heard someone pronounce it like that I thought there was something wrong with them. But reading up on it and it turns out they might be right. I'm not going to start doing it anytime soon but it takes all sorts to make a world.

    I have always pronounced Ikea as Icky a - much to the annoyance of my wife and daughters who say it should be I kea, I used to get lots of flack for being deliberately awkward.

    I was very pleased when there was a TV advert for he company where it was pronounced the same way as I say it
