Vladimir Lenin

Freudism and all it has tainted with its grotesque implications and methods, appear to me to be one of the vilest deceits practiced by people on themselves and on others. I reject it utterly, along with a few other medieval items still adored by the ignorant, the conventional, or the very sick.
Vladimir Nabokov

The only stuff we looked at were incidents for which there are a paper trail ... (and) everything we looked up was full of lies.

Under a Democracy they are so as a means of attaining popularity and office, and because of the greed for wealth.
