“he who dictates and formulates the words and phrases we use, he who is master of the press and radio, is master of the mind.” ― Joost A.M. Meerloo, The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing. 1956
“What counts in any man is the consistency and integrity of his behavior, and his courage in taking a stand, not his conformity to official dogma.” ― Joost A.M. Meerloo, The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing. 1956

“radio and television tend to take away active affectionate relationships between men and to destroy the capacity for personal thought, evaluation, and reflection. They catch the mind directly, giving people no time for calm, dialectical conversation with their own minds, with their friends, or with their books.” ― Joost A.M. Meerloo, The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing, 1956
