Zdenek Urbánek (Czechoslovakian dissident novelist) (1970s): “In one respect, we are more fortunate than you in the west. We believe nothing of what we read in the newspapers and watch on television, nothing of the official truth. Unlike you, we have learned to read between the lines, because real truth is always subversive" (Zdenek Urbánek quoted in John Pilger, “The real first casualty of war”, John Pilger.com, 24 April 2006: http://johnpilger.com/articles/the-real-first-casualty-of-war .)
