More quotes by Noam Chomsky
Do you train for passing tests or do you train for creative inquiry?
Noam Chomsky
People don't have knowledge and understanding about the outside world, or about history [in the USA].
Noam Chomsky
It may be beyond the limits of human intelligence to understand how human intelligence works.
Noam Chomsky
It's a lesser-known story, but the Japanese government (after the Russian-Nazi pact, which split Poland) did allow Polish Jews to come to Japan, with the expectation that they would then be sent to the United States. But they weren't accepted, so they stayed in Japan.
Noam Chomsky
Whether the person should then be called an intellectual seems to reduce the issue to a question of terminology.
Noam Chomsky
Citizenship means every four years you put a mark somewhere and you go home and let other guys run the world. It's a very destructive ideology.
Noam Chomsky
[After Vietnam] the type of interventions that are carried out are designed so as not to elicit public reactions.
Noam Chomsky
A default of the US government would not only be very harmful here, it would probably send the country back into deep recession, but it just might crash the international financial system.
Noam Chomsky
Edward Said is a very honorable representative of the intellectual in the sense of the term that he defines.
Noam Chomsky
People who spend their working hours in a lab or research library or a classroom might be intent primarily on keeping or advancing their elite positions, thereby lending tacit support to power structures. Or they might not be.
Noam Chomsky
If you're worried about the deficit, pay attention to the fact that it's almost all attributable to military spending and the totally dysfunctional health program.
Noam Chomsky

Noam Chomsky
I felt that we could hardly improve on the conception of the university expressed by one of the founders of the modern system, Wilhelm von Humboldt, also one of the founders of classical liberalism. That seems to me true today as well, though ideals of course have to be adapted to changing circumstances.
Noam Chomsky
These are fashionable people who call themselves philosophers.
Noam Chomsky
Advertising is tax deductible, so we all pay for the privilege of being manipulated and controlled.
Noam Chomsky
It's not a matter of public relations and rhetorical style but of actions. It's the actions and policies under George W.Bush administration that have left the US government remarkably isolated, feared and often hated to an extent with no historical precedent.
Noam Chomsky
When I was ten years old I wanted to be a taxidermist for some reason, don't ask me why.
Noam Chomsky
It's a class war, and a war on young people too... that's why tuition is rising so rapidly. There's no real economic reason for that. It's a technique of control and indoctrination. And this is really the first organized, significant reaction to it, which is important.
Noam Chomsky
Similar problems are arising in Egypt too. The question is whether the military will release its grip which has been extremely strong for the past 60 years. So this is happening all over the region and particularly strikingly in Pakistan.
Noam Chomsky
Whoever sets the agenda controls the outcome of the debate
