Friedrich Durrenmatt

"Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason."

"Pretend to be dumb, that's the only way to reach old age."

"Emotions have no place in business, unless you do business with them."

"Revolutions demand enormous sacrifices and, at the same time, create a new need to change the world again."

"News reports don't change the world. Only facts change it, and those have already happened when we get the news."

"Whoever is content with the world, and who profits from its lack of justice, does not want to change it."
