What quote would you pick to describe 2020?

“This can’t get any weirder…”

“It CAN get weirder!”

I have a few

Thomas Paine

“To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead”.

I like this one because I feel like I’m taking crazy pills trying to convince people that the pandemic is real and that they should wear masks. The last bit about medicine for the dead works because they’re all go into to die from the rona.

“Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”

“When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.”

“Reason obeys itself, and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it”

Thomas Jefferson

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government”

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty”

“Occasionally the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants”

James Madison

“If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy”

Proverbs

“Beware the tyranny of the minority”

Voltaire

“It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere”

it’s the end of the world as we know it- Michael stipe

Not a quote but a title of a Voyager episode. It was called, “Year of Hell”

Edit: corrected Voyager

”Were evolving, just backwards”
