“There is a tendency to explain the Juche idea by using complicated logic and difficult phrases on the grounds that theoretical depth must be provided, but theoretical depth does not necessarily require difficult language. The message of the leader’s ideas and theories is unfathomably profound, yet it is expressed in a language that everyone can understand. If his theories are explained in difficult language, such an explanation cannot be of any help to the study of the original works. We must strive to teach the Juche idea not only in depth but also in plain language.”
- Kim Jong Il

“No one any longer knows who will live in this steel-hard casing and whether entirely new prophets or a mighty rebirth of ancient ideas and ideals will stand at the end of this prodigious development. Or, however, if neither, whether a mechanized ossification, embellished with a sort of rigidly compelled sense of self-importance, will arise. Then, indeed, if ossification appears, the saying might be true for the ‘last humans’ in this long civilizational development: narrow specialists without mind, pleasure-seekers without heart; in its conceit, this nothingness imagines it has climbed to a level of humanity never before attained.”
- Max Weber, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
