Chanel_no5 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Just a few from the incredible HBO show "Chernobyl": "What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognise the truth at all." - Legasov "You will do it because it must be done. If you don't, millions will die. If you tell me that's not enough, I won't believe you." - Shcherbina. Shcherbina: “I thought one day I would matter, but I didn’t. I just stood next to people who did.” Legasov: “There are other scientists like me. Anyone of them could do what I did. But you... everything we asked for, everything we needed: men, material, lunar rovers… who else could have done these things? They heard me, but they listened to you. Of all the ministers and all the deputies, entire congregation of obedient fools, they mistakenly sent the one good man. For God’s sake Boris, you were the one who mattered most.” "Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid. That is how an RBMK-reactor core explodes: lies." - Legasov testifies. Link to comment
