Leigh Brackett said this quote

“ There's never been an act done since the beginning, from a kid stealing candy to a dictator committing genocide, that the person doing it didn't think he was fully justified. That's a mental trick called rationalizing, and it's done the human race more harm than anything else you can name. ”

You can’t destroy knowledge. You can stamp it under and burn it up and forbid it to be, but somewhere it will survive.

~ Leigh Brackett

(I)f you're not honest with yourself, life will never be honest with you.

~ Leigh Brackett

The cities were sucking all the life of the country into themselves and destroying it. Men were no longer individuals but units in a vast machine, all cut to one pattern, with the same tastes and ideas, the same mass-produced education that did not educate but only pasted a veneer of catchwords over ignorance. Why do you want to bring that back?

~ Leigh Brackett
