"'Women hold up half the sky'? Actually, what you see as the 'sky' is just sunlight refracting through water molecules in the air, which are held down by the gravity of earth's mass, which women negligably contribute to. "

"'A guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea'? In order to match the density per cubic inch of water, one would have to reduce 'the people' to a souplike homogenate, by way of a Polytron device"

"'The most ridiculous person in the world is the "know all" who picks up a smattering of hearsay knowledge and proclaims himself "the world's Number One authority"'?
Sounds like mister Mao didn't know our last president."

Saw a down-and-out in Shanghai last night. His sign said not "I need food" or "I need a job" but "I need a fat concubine". What could this mean?

Nobody has better respect for intelligence than Donald Trump.

"'I have witnessed the tremendous energy of the masses. On this foundation it is possible to accomplish any task whatsoever.' Actually energy and mass are two different things. Setting aside the loaded nature of using "the masses" as a political heuristic, the statement is...deeply unscientific, and does remarkably little to support the overbroad claims it makes or just assumes."

"Where do correct ideas come from? Do they drop from the skies? No. Are they innate in the mind? No. They come from social practice and from it alone. They come from three kinds of social practice: the struggle for production, the class struggle and scientific experiment. "

[INT. Patent office, Neil walks between desks. The camera pushes in, and Neil's hand can be seen pulling back and releasing a steel ball in a Newton's Cradle] There is a connection between energy and masses, but despite all of his talk about the "energy of the masses", Mao referred to nuclear weapons as:

"... A paper tiger which the U.S. reactionaries use to scare people. It looks terrible, but in fact it isn't. Of course, the atom bomb is a weapon of mass slaughter, but the outcome of a war is decided by the people, not by one or two new types of weapon. All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance, the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality they are not so powerful."

For a man so obsessed with "paper tigers", it's ironic Mao forgot about this paper.

[A wild-haired Albert Einstein excitingly shouts "Eureka!" before dashing from his desk to the phone. Pan to a single sheet of paper on the desk with the equation e=mc^2. The camera continues to push in towards the paper, zooming further and further in, the fibers making the sheet become visible, then the molecules, then the nucleus of one atom, which splits, releasing a blast of energy]

The only true law is that which leads to freedom. There is no other.

To read too many books is harmful.

"We should support whatever the enemy opposes and oppose whatever the enemy supports." This is halfway to Newton's third law! It's an opposite force, but is it equal? If only Mao had defined the amount of support and opposition, we would know whether he was referencing that father of calculus.

That frog at the bottom of the well? It's probably perfectly happy. After all, as an amphibian it needs to be in close proximity to water to survive; not to mention the number of predators out under the open sky. Plus, there's going to be a whole lot of creepy crawly critters down there to eat.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
