In the anime Psycho Pass they reference some of the major ideologically
leading people.

But there is a direct quote from one of the main characters saying "Be wary of
those who quote ___" There is then a reply: "Had you not quoted him I probably
would have." Who is the author in question?

People should be wary of those who quote which author?


From episode 16 - The Gates Of Judgement (at around 16:10), Shogo Makishima
said:

> Justice is subject to dispute; might is easily recognized and is not
> disputed. So we cannot give might to justice,

In return, Shinya Kogami replied:

> I have long since learned, as a measure of elementary hygiene, to be on
> guard when anyone quotes **Pascal**.

So the answer is Blaise Pascal.

By the way, Kogami's reply is actually a quote from [_Toward a Philosophy of
History_](https://books.google.com.vn/books?id=6U4naz5DfsgC&lpg=PA71&ots=RH0VoGXejm&pg=PA71)
by José Ortega y Gasset.
