Danh ngôn của Steven Pinker
The strongest argument against totalitarianism may be a recognition of a universal human nature; that all humans have innate desires for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The doctrine of the blank slate... is a totalitarian's dream.

Lập luận mạnh mẽ nhất chống lại chủ nghĩa toàn trị có thể là sự thừa nhận bản chất phổ quát của con người; rằng tất cả con người đều có những khát vọng bẩm sinh về cuộc sống, tự do và mưu cầu hạnh phúc. Học thuyết về tấm bảng trống... là giấc mơ của một kẻ toàn trị.

Các câu danh ngôn khác của cùng tác giả: Steven Pinker
- As many political writers have pointed out, commitment to political equality is not an empirical claim that people are clones.
- There has to be innate circuitry that does the learning, that creates the culture, that acquires the culture, and that responds to socialization.
- Art works because it appeals to certain faculties of the mind. Music depends on details of the auditory system, painting and sculpture on the visual system. Poetry and literature depend on language.
- Human nature is complex. Even if we do have inclinations toward violence, we also have inclination to empathy, to cooperation, to self-control.
- When people talk, they lay lines on each other, do a lot of role playing, sidestep, shilly-shally and engage in all manner of vagueness and innuendo. We do this and expect others to do it, yet at the same time we profess to long for the plain truth, for people to say what they mean, simple as that. Such hypocrisy is a human universal.

- The mystic cords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the angels of our nature.
- Repeal the Missouri Compromise - repeal all compromises - repeal the Declaration of Independence - repeal all past history, you still cannot repeal human nature. It will be the abundance of man's heart that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.
- Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man's nature - opposition to it is his love of justice. These principles are an eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely, as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.
- Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.
- To feel much for others and little for ourselves; to restrain our selfishness and exercise our benevolent affections, constitute the perfection of human nature.
