[In the whole history of the Universe there has never been another person exactly like you and there never will be again! You are unique and special.

"[Freedom of speech, expression, press and censorship:] Let one thousand flowers bloom. [This is a quote often used to encourage many ideas from many sources. It is a common misquotation of (Chinese Communist leader) Chairman Mao Zedong's 'Let a hundred flowers blossom'. This slogan was used during the period of approximately six weeks in the summer of 1957 when the Chinese intelligentsia were invited to criticize the political system then in Communist China. The full quotation, taken from a speech of Mao's in Peking in February 1957, is: 'Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting progress in the arts and the sciences and a flourishing socialist culture in our land.' It is sometimes suggested that the initiative was a deliberate attempt to flush out dissidents by encouraging them to show themselves as critical of the regime. Whether or not it was a deliberate trap isn't clear but it is the case that many of those who put forward views that were unwelcome to Mao were executed.]" - Mao Zedong

"[Freedom of speech, expression, press and censorship:] We can lose certain liberties (as we tragically have been doing and continue to do) yet still work peacefully toward resecuring them — so long as we can say what we think. But to lose freedom of speech would be to lose liberty as such... To lose our freedom to speak our minds would be the end of peaceful civilization... The right to free speech is the recognition of the fact that in order for people to live together peacefully, they must be free to express their thoughts — regardless of what others think, feel, or 'just believe.' We need freedom of expression; and to establish and maintain it, we must...embrace the rational foundation for rights.
If we fail to challenge the growing threat to freedom of speech at the most fundamental level, we will lose the freedom to express our ideas — which means, we will lose our ability to live as civilized human beings [that do not need to use force, coercion and fraud to meet our needs and desires]." - Craig Biddle

"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression, press and censorship:-] Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing socialist culture in our land. Different forms and styles in art should develop freely and different schools in science should contend freely. We think that it is harmful to the growth of art and science if administrative measures are used to impose one particular style of art or school of thought and to ban another. Questions of right and wrong in the arts and sciences should be settled through free discussion in artistic and scientific circles and through practical work in these fields. They should not be settled in summary fashion." - Chairman Mao Zedong (also transliterated as Mao Tse-tung)

"The art of any propagandist and agitator [politician or persuader] consists in his ability to find the best means of influencing any given audience, by presenting a definite truth, in such a way as to make it most convincing, most easy to digest, most graphic, and most strongly impressive." - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
(1870 – 1924), Russian Marxist revolutionary, intellectual and politician who led the October Revolution of 1917. As the leader of the Bolsheviks, he headed the Soviet state during its initial years (1917–1924), as it fought to establish control of Russia in the Russian Civil War and worked to create a socialist economic system. As a politician, Lenin was a persuasive and charismatic orator. As an intellectual his extensive theoretic and philosophical developments of Marxism produced Marxism–Leninism, a pragmatic Russian application of Marxism that emphasized the critical role played by a committed and disciplined political vanguard in the revolutionary process, while defending the possibility of a socialist revolution in less advanced capitalist countries through an alliance of the proletarians with the rural peasantry. Quote from his essay, 'The Slogans and Organisation of Social-Democratic Work', 1919. [http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/quotes.htm ]

"It is, of course, much easier [when giving a passionate speech] to shout, abuse, and howl [but it is less effective] than to attempt to relate, to explain.

As head of the Bolsheviks (1917–1924) he led the Red Army to victory in the Russian Civil War, before establishing the world's first officially socialist state. As a theorist, his extensive theoretical and philosophical contributions to Marxism produced Leninism.

"[Freedom of speech, expression, press and censorship:] No new values can be created where a free conflict of ideas is impossible." - Leon Trotsky
(1879 – 1940), born Lev Davidovich Bronshtein, he was a Russian Marxist revolutionary and theorist, Soviet politician, and the founder and first leader of the Red Army. He joined the Bolsheviks immediately prior to the 1917 October Revolution, and eventually became a leader within the Party. During the early days of the Soviet Union, he served first as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and later as the founder and commander of the Red Army as People's Commissar of Military and Naval Affairs. He was a major figure in the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War (1918–20). He was also among the first members of the Politburo.
After leading a failed struggle of the Left Opposition against the policies and rise of Joseph Stalin in the 1920s and the increasing role of bureaucracy in the Soviet Union, Trotsky was successively removed from power, expelled from the Communist Party, deported from the Soviet Union and assassinated on Stalin's orders. An early advocate of Red Army intervention against European fascism, Trotsky also opposed Stalin's non-aggression pact with Adolf Hitler in the late 1930s.
As the head of the Fourth International, Trotsky continued in exile to oppose the Stalinist bureaucracy in the Soviet Union, and was eventually assassinated in Mexico, by Ramón Mercader, a Spanish-born Soviet agent. Trotsky's ideas form the basis of Trotskyism, a major school of Marxist thought that is opposed to the theories of Stalinism.
Quote from his work, ‘Revolution Betrayed’ (1936)

"[Freedom of speech, expression, press and censorship:] Death solves all problems - no man, no problem. [Like George Bernard Shaw said, 'Assassination is the extreme from of censorship.']" - Joseph Stalin
(1879 - 1953), Russian Communist leader. Stalin, a political name adopted when he was 34, meaning Man of Steel, became a member of the Bolshevik party in 1903. Around 1913 he was arrested and exiled to Siberia. He was released by general amnesty after the February Revolution of 1917. In 1922 he became the General Secretary of the Communist party. In the same year Lenin called for his removal, explaining that Stalin had amassed too much power, in what was to become known as Lenin's last testament.
Following Lenin's death in 1924, a wave of reaction swept through the Soviet government. Stalin introduced his theory of socialism in one country, where he explained that Socialism could be achieved by a single country.
In 1927, after years of bureaucratic manoeuvring, the members in the government that were part of the Left Opposition were deported on a wide scale. Immediately following, Stalin announced his theory of social fascism, describing that the theories of Social-Democracy and Fascism were essentially the same. Following this new theory, members of Social-Democratic organisations (of which Bolsheviks were once a part) were arrested or deported. In 1929 the right-wing of the Communist party, led by Bukharin, was removed from the so-called 'soviet' government by the Stalinists.
In late 1928, Stalin introduced methods of productively advancing the Soviet Union via forced industrialisation and collectivisation. These efforts were tasked out in five year plans, the first of which included a wide-scale campaign of mass executions, arrests, and deportations of the kulak class.
From 1934 to 1939 Stalin ordered a series of executions and imprisonments, largely directed towards people within the Soviet government. Half of the members of the first Council of Peoples Commissars were executed in 1938 (A quarter of them had died natural deaths beforehand, of the remaining quarter only Stalin lived past 1942). Some government officials executed were thought to be Nazi agents or sympathisers, while others were accused for planning to overthrow the Soviet government. Members of the Left Opposition who were allowed to return to the party after accepting Stalinism were soon executed; those who remained abroad were hunted down and killed. Also executed were people belonging to the right-wing of the party (Bukharin and others). The exact number of people executed is not known, estimates range from thousands to millions.

"A speaker's tone of voice is a key factor that will make a major difference whether he will have a positive effect or not. Matters pertaining to cold logic do not need a special tone of voice. However, when your goal is to arouse elevated spiritual feelings in someone, it is important to speak in a tone of voice that will inspire the appropriate elevated state.
Today, when speaking to someone about a personal matter, be conscious of how your tone of voice can enhance your message!" - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

"[Freedom of speech, expression, press and censorship:] You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. [Remember the old adage, 'If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything!' Life is about carefully thinking about and developing values you can believe in, live by and justify and then standing up for them when they are challenged in a debate, especially in a democracy. At worst you will be convinced of your error and grow wiser or at best help another see the validity of your personal, individual beliefs. As you debate remember to be rational, reasonable and polite. Give facts and do not make personal attacks. After all a debate is really about what is right, not who is right. Never resort to force, coercion or fraud, which deny the other person the equal unalienable right to their individual free choice.]" - Winston Churchill
British Prime Minister during World War II.

Ideas actually begin to grow within us and come to life .... When we listen to people there is an alternating current, and this recharges us so that we never get tired of each other ... and it is this little creative fountain inside of us that begins to spring and cast up new thoughts and unexpected laughter and wisdom. ...Well, it is when people really listen to us, with quiet fascinated attention, that the little fountain begins to work again, to accelerate in the most surprising way." - Brenda Ueland
