| | The result was much more vigorous debate than Mao had expected and the period ended with an abrupt crackdown against those who had raised their voices in opposition. | | | I hold that it is bad as far as we are concerned if a person, a political party, an army or a school is not attacked by the enemy, for in that case it would definitely mean that we have sunk to the level of the enemy. | | | Mao had every reason to let the world think he was not afraid of the bomb no matter what his private thoughts might have been. |

| | As a result of Mao's (re-)interpretations of the Marxist Classics, his writings became known as Mao Zedong Thought. | | | The Quotations from Chairman Mao, the Mao zhuxi yulu, 426 in total, were culled from the numerous writings in which Mao had set out to sinify Marxism-Leninism over the years and which had been brought together in the four-volume Selected Works of Mao Zedong. | | | According to Lin, "Everything that Mao Zedong says is the truth; every statement he utters is worth 10,000 sentences." The more wide-spread the study of the book, the more devastating the effects that were ascribed to it. |
