More quotes by Noam Chomsky
Academics are not necessarily nice people.
Noam Chomsky
The House of Representatives, which was closer to the population, had much less power. The executive was more or less an administrator, not an emperor like today.
Noam Chomsky
Women didn't have rights. Under British common law, women were property.
Noam Chomsky
I have never suggested any principled difference between the natural and social sciences.
Noam Chomsky
WikiLeaks is a service to the population. Assange should get an award for - presidential medal of honor.
Noam Chomsky
In the American Jewish community, there is little willingness to face the fact that the Palestinian Arabs have suffered a monstrous historical injustice . . . Until this is recognized, discussion of the Middle East crisis cannot even begin.
Noam Chomsky
Should a community... be free to enact legislation to say they don't want blacks? Now that's illegal. Fifty years ago it was legal. Is that progress or is that regress?
Noam Chomsky
We're now in a situation in which Capital is highly mobile and Labour is basically immobile.
Noam Chomsky
Suppose that the US really is trying to get rid of drugs in Colombia. Does Colombia then have the right to fumigate tobacco farms in Kentucky? They are producing a lethal substance far more dangerous than cocaine. More Colombians die from tobacco-related illnesses than Americans die from cocaine. Of course, Colombia has no right to do that.
Noam Chomsky
States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions.
Noam Chomsky
As elite attitudes towards public education over time illustrate, simple formulas are far from adequate. There are conflicting tendencies.
Noam Chomsky
Mexico is a pretty poor country, but they are maintaining a free, high quality public education system, not for everyone of course but pretty substantial.
Noam Chomsky
Yes, and Syrians. There is a horrible crisis there and the United States has admitted virtually none of the refugees.
Noam Chomsky
[Barack] Obama was reaching a point [with Syria bombing] where he might not have been able to carry it off.He was losing support internally, and was compelled to send the vote to Congress, and it looked as if he was going to be defeated, which would have been a very serious blow to his presidency, to his authority.
Noam Chomsky
I'm into eating as little as possible, paying as little attention as possible. I never cook. Never use the stove or anything.
Noam Chomsky
How people themselves perceive what they are doing is not a question that interests me.
Noam Chomsky
South America goes its own way dramatically in international affairs.
Noam Chomsky
We are entering a period of human history that may provide an answer to the question of whether it is better to be smart than stupid.
Noam Chomsky
In fact, it's pretty dramatic when you get to 1975, very revealing, the [Vietnam] war ends. Everybody had to write something about the war, what it meant. You also had polls of public opinion, and they're dramatically different.
Noam Chomsky
We have to recognize that there is a range of interests, like there isn't a single corporate interest and a single state interest, so there's a range. In addition to that, there is the fact of professional integrity.
Noam Chomsky
