Until they became conscious
they will never rebel, and until
after they have rebelled they
cannot become conscious.
Osho (Rajneesh)
Rajneesh was an Indian philosopher & leader of
the Rajneeshee movement. He initiated his first
followers as “neo-sannyasins”, or “Rajneeshees”,
& they were also later known as “the orange
people”.
Considered a controversial leader and mystic,
during the 1960ʼs he travelled throughout India
as a public speaker, being a vocal critic of
Gandhi, Hinduism, and socialism. The Indian
government wanted him out, and so he moved to
the USA.
In 1985, in the wake of serious crimes by his
followers, he was briefly held in custody and
then deported from the USA, returning to India.
After his death in 1990, he was known as Osho,
and the popularity of his teachings have since
continued to increase all over the world.
The greatest fear in the world
is of the opinions of others.
And the moment you are
unafraid of the crowd you
are no longer a sheep: you
become a lion. A great roar
arises in your heart, the roar
of freedom.
The total absence of desire
brings happiness. It also
brings freedom & liberation,
because whenever something
is lacking, there are both
limits and dependency. Only
when nothing at all is lacking,
is there the possibility of total
freedom. Freedom brings
happiness, and happiness is
salvation.
Never follow anybody else’s
idea; always follow your own
nature -self-nature- only
then will you attain freedom.
It is better to die following
one’s nature than to live
following somebody else’s
nature, because that will be a
pseudo-life. To die following
one’s own nature is beautiful,
because that death, too, will
be authentic.
Everybody is looking with
their own world of desires,
expectations, passions, lust,
greed, anger... There are
a-thousand-and-one things
standing between you and
your world: that’s why you
don’t ever see it as it is. There
is only one possibility of
liberation, and that is your
own truth, and all that you
have to do is to create a
dispassionate eye.
Rosa Parks
Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was an activist in
the civil rights movement, best known for her
pivotal role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The
United States Congress has called her
“The First Lady of Civil Rights”, and “The Mother
of the Freedom Movement”.
On December 1st, 1955, in Montgomery,
Alabama, Parks rejected bus driver James F.
Blakeʼs order to relinquish her seat in the
“colored section” to a white passenger, after the
“whites-only section” was filled.
Parksʼ act of defiance and the bus boycott
became an important symbol of the
civil rightsʼ movement as she became an
international icon of resistance to racial
segregation.
If I can sit down for freedom,
you can stand up for children.
Whatever my individual
desires were to be free, I was
not alone; there were many
others who felt the same way.
I want to be treated like a
human being.
I’m tired of being treated like
a second-class citizen.
Plato
Plato was a philosopher in Classical Greece,
who founded of the Academy in Athens in 385
BCE, the first academic institution in the Western
World, a university of higher learning. The
Academy was later seen as a threat to
Christianity, and in 529 BCE was closed by the
Roman Emperor.
Unlike nearly all of his philosophical
contemporaries, Platoʼs entire work is believed to
have survived intact for over 2400 years.
Plato originally considered getting into politics,
but after his teacher Socrates was executed for
not believing in the gods of the state, he
dropped that idea and focused on philosophy.
Aristotle became Platoʼs most famous student.
Known for writing dialogues, Plato strongly
believed that dialogues helped with
understanding.
Platoʼs work is considered to have laid the
foundations for modern Western philosophy &
science.
The price of apathy towards
public affairs is to be ruled by
evil men.
The Gods created certain
kinds of beings to replenish
our bodies; they are the trees,
and the plants, and the seeds.
Those who are able to see
beyond the shadows and
lies of their culture will never
be understood, let alone
believed, by the masses.
One of the penalties for
refusing to participate in
politics is that you end up
being governed by your
inferiors.
Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand was born and educated in Russia, and
moved to the US in 1926. She is known for her
two best-selling novels, “Atlas Shrugged” and
“The Fountainhead”, and for developing the
philosophical system Objectivism.
She had a play produced on Broadway, from
1935 to 1936. And after her two early novels
-that were initially unsuccessful- she achieved
fame with her 1943ʼs “The Fountainhead”.
She opposed collectivism and statism, instead
supporting laissez-faire capitalism, which she
defined as the system based on recognizing
individual rights, including property rights.
Rand continues to be a significant influence
among libertarians.
I started my life with a single
absolute: that the world was
mine to shape in the image of
my highest values, and never
to be given up to a lesser
standard, no matter how long
or hard the struggle.
An individualist is a man who
says: I will not run anyone’s
life, nor let anyone run mine. I
will not rule nor be ruled. I will
not be a master nor a slave.
I will not sacrifice myself to
anyone, nor sacrifice anyone
to myself.
The only power any
government has is the power
to crack down on criminals.
Well, when there aren’t
enough criminals, one makes
them; one declares so many
things to be a crime that it
becomes impossible for men
to live without breaking laws.
The man who does not
value himself, cannot value
anything or anyone.
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was an American
political figure, diplomat and activist. She served
as the First Lady of the USA from 1933-45,
during her Democrat husband President
Franklin D. Rooseveltʼs (FDR) 4 terms in office,
making her the longest serving First Lady.
Eleanor Roosevelt served as United States
Delegate to the United Nations General
Assembly from 1945 to 1952.
President Harry S. Truman later called her the
“First Lady of the World”, in tribute to her
human rightsʼ achievements.
Following FDRʼs death in office as President in
1945, she remained active in politics for the last
17 years of her life.
You must do the things you
think you cannot do.
The future belongs to those
who believe in the beauty of
their dreams.
The giving of love is an
education in itself.
We are afraid to care too
much, for fear that the other
person does not care at all.
Margaret Sanger
Margaret Sanger was an American nurse, birth
control activist, sex educator and writer. She
popularized the term “birth control”, and
opened the first birth control clinic in the USA in
1916, which led to her arrest for distributing
information encouraging contraception. She
established organizations that would become the
Planned Parenthood Federation of the USA.
She was prosecuted for her book “Family
Limitation” under the Comstock Act in 1914.
Concerned of what would happen, she fled to
Britain until it was safe for her to return.
Later on, Sangerʼs efforts were praised for
contributing to legalizing contraception in the
USA. She has also been highly criticized for
supporting eugenics, or “race improvement”
practices.
No woman can call herself
free, who does not own and
control her body. No woman
can call herself free until
she can choose consciously
whether she will or will not be
a mother.
We do not want word to
get out that we want to
exterminate the Negro
population and the minister is
the man who can straighten
out the idea if it ever occurs
to any of their more rebellious
members.
The real hope of the world
lies in putting as painstaking
thought into the business of
mating as we do into other
big businesses.
America must keep the doors
of immigration closed to the
entrance of certain aliens
whose condition is known to
be detrimental to the stamina
of the race, such as feeble-
minded, idiots, morons,
insane, syphilitic, epileptic,
criminal, professional
prostitutes, and others.
Virginia Woolf
Adeline Virginia Woolf was a British writer,
considered one of the most important
modernist 20th-centuryʼs authors, and a
pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as
a narrative device.
She began writing professionally in 1900,
publishing a number of acclaimed novels and
essays. Throughout her life she was
troubled by bouts of mental illness and, in 1941,
committed suicide by putting rocks in her
pockets and drowning herself in a river.
She eventually became a central subject
during the 1970ʼs, and was widely regarded as
an “inspiring feminist” ahead of her times, with
her works still being read all over the world in
over 50 languages.
No need to hurry, no need
to sparkle, no need to be
anybody but oneself.
As a woman I have no
country. As a woman, my
country is the whole world.
To enjoy freedom we have to
control ourselves.
To enjoy freedom, we have of
course to control ourselves.
We must not squander
our powers, helplessly and
ignorantly, squirting half the
house in order to water a
single rose.

POWERINTRODUCTIONEuropean Union
The European Union (EU) formally began with the
European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957. The EEC
worked for many decades, adding more members
states, expanding the policies & finally adopting the
Euro as a new central currency in 1999, as legal tender
in 2002. Greece joined the EU in 2001.
Todayʼs EU began in 1993 as a political & economic
union of 28 member states, of 513 million people (7.3%
of the worldʼs population). While no member state has
left the EU yet, with Brexit the UK is
negotiating a withdrawal.
The EU has developed an internal single market through
a standardized system of laws that apply in certain
matters. EU policies aim to ensure the free movement of
people, goods, services and capital within
the internal market.
The EU is currently a confederation (unlike a federation
superstate, like the USA, wherein ultimate power lies in
a federal hierarchy). A confederation keeps power with
the individual states. The past 2 French Presidents have
proposed new reforms for the EU with pooled financial
resources, an EU Finance Minister, and Europe-wide
financial policy, which would be
more akin to a federation.
Hannah Arendt
Hannah Arendt was a German-born American
philosopher & political theorist. Arendt is widely
considered as one of the most important political
philosophers of the 20th century.
Coming from a Jewish community living in Nazi
Germany in the 1930ʼs, Hannah soon began to
encounter increasing anti-Semitism. While
researching anti-Semitic propaganda for the
Zionist Federation in Berlin, she was briefly
imprisoned by the Gestapo in 1933; on release,
she fled Germany to Paris. By 1940 she had to
escape again, and finally settled in NYC.
As a young woman Arendt had a 4 year love
affair with her philosopher professor Martin
Heidegger, who became a prominent Nazi
academic from 1933. After the war, they
remained close, until his death in 1976. By 1963,
Arendt had shifted her Nazi research from
“radical evil” to the “banality of evil” (some take
this as the bureaucracy of evil).
She is best known for writing on the nature of
power & evil, politics, direct democracy,
authority, and totalitarianism. Institutions &
journals are still devoted to her thinking.
Politically, the weakness of
the argument has always
been that those who choose
the lesser evil, forget very
quickly that they chose evil.
The most radical revolutionary
will become a conservative
the day after the revolution.
Evil thrives on apathy and
cannot exist without it.
There are no dangerous
thoughts, thinking itself is
dangerous.
Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill, born into an aristocratic
family, was a politician, army officer, Freemason
& writer. Prime Minister of the UK twice, from
1940-45, and then 1951-55, he led Britain and
the allies to victory in the WW2 against Nazi
Germany.
Early on, he served dual roles as British military
officer & war correspondent (from which he
gained fame) in India, Sudan and South Africa,
where in 1900 during the 2nd Boer War, he was
on the same side & battlefield as ambulance
volunteer Mahatma Gandhi.
40 years later while fighting to free Nazi
Europe, he was opposing Gandhi, fighting to
maintain British rule over India, all while using
Indian labour & resources for WW2 and
simultaneously diverting foods from India,
leading to a famine that caused over 3 million
Bengali deaths.
In 1953 he won the literary Noble Prize for his
history of WW2, and he remained
in politics until 1964.
The farther back one looks,
the further in the future one
may see.
The one who cannot see that
on Earth a big endeavor is
taking place -an important
plan, on which realization we
are allowed to collaborate as
faithful servants- certainly has
to be blind.
The widespread conspiracy
for the overthrow of
civilization has been steadily
growing.
This worldwide conspiracy for
the overthrow of civilization,
and for the reconstitution
of society on the basis of
arrested development -of
envious malevolence and
impossible equality- has been
steadily growing.
Marie Curie
Marie Curie was a Polish & French physicist and
chemist, who conducted pioneering research on
radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a
Nobel Prize, the first person to win twice, and
the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two
different sciences. She was also the first woman
to become a professor at the University of Paris,
and in 1995 was the first woman to be entombed
in the Panthéon in Paris.
She developed the theory of radioactivity (a
term that she coined), techniques for isolating
radioactive isotopes, and the discovery of two
elements: polonium and radium.
She died in 1934 from exposure to radiation in
the course of her research, and from her
radiological work with X-ray services that she
developed for field hospitals during WW1.

Thank you for grabbing a copy of the King of Quotes Game book edition. This has been a unique labor of love and learning that has been a lifetime in the making for both of us, along with a year of focused development, play testing, and research. At the outset we wanted to make a game that brought history to life. So we found quotes from some of the most influential people in history and turned it into a guessing game.
It has been a fun project to make and now we want to share it in as many ways as possible. As of this writing the game is a free downloadable PDF on our website. You can download a set of cards and print them at home to play. This book is a simple compilation of those same cards so everyone can have access to all the fun things we discovered. Our goal has been simple, make history accessible in today's fast paced world.
Ideally we wish we could have put every influential historical figure, famous and infamous, into the game but we limited ourselves to find 30 influential people that have helped shape the modern world we live in and select their best 12 quotes. Thus the game King of Quotes was created. Like us, you will be shocked to discover "Who said what?" . In our research we discovered just how much these 30 people have shaped our world with their words and ideas. Some have moved millions, while others have shared the right words with key people, who in turn changed the lives of entire generations. It will quickly surprise you how contradictory, poignant, and relevant their words are still today. This is not your grammar school history lesson.
So the question we asked ourselves early on was, how do we make a game out of just quotes? There have been many trivia games in the past and I am sure there will be many more.
We knew we wanted to take an interactive team approach with the game, so we decided to separate the quotes into two categories, Freedom and Power, two ideas that have been in a constant tug of war throughout the entire 20th century, and some would say throughout all of history. We selected 30 historical figures and organized them into these two groups, one group of quotes are blue tinted Freedom cards and the other set of quotes are red tinted Power cards. Neither group is good or bad, as you’ll soon discover, as some historical heroes said and did some shocking things.
By no means are we historical scholars and there will be quotes from people that could be for either Freedom or Power. We encourage you to do your own research and to foster that debate among you and your friends. When we put out the second edition of the game we will take those conflicting opinions and thoughts under serious advisement.
For 30-60 minutes, two teams, Frreeom and Power, go through a stack of quotes to see which team racks up the most points by guessing, "Who said that?". There are challenges and counter challenges, along with clues to help you match the right quote with the right historical figure. The first team to collect 10 points wins. This book is a collection of all the the quotes from all the historical figures in the game.
Long after the game is finished, you and your friends can use this book to read through the quotes and learn about these historical figures. These 30 influential people still have relevance in your life today. We hope you enjoy the book and even more so the game.
Good luck in becoming the King or Queen of Quotes!
