“Idealismul și violența sunt două fețe inseparabile ale legionarismului, ceea ce pare derutant, unii continuând și astăzi să vadă doar „puritatea” proiectului, iar alții, dimpotrivă, strict dezlănțuirea criminală.”

“Cum au putut atâtea spirite alese să fie atrase de o mișcare criminală e o întrebare nelalocul ei. „Spiritele alese” au fost atrase de idealismul mișcării, idealism care, în exces, a condus pe de altă parte la o barbarie fără margini.”

“Prvo nisi dobro poredo ono francusko sranje. Sloboda je na prvom mjestu. Liberte. Kad se oslobodiš onda bi da budeš jednak. Egalite. A kad ste jednaki onda ste braća. Fraternite. Sestara nema jer je to iz vremena kad su žene bile samo pičke za zguzit i sad su samo sad lafo imaju prava i to se zove pravično zgužen.”

“Papier
Un jour,
un peuplier immense
fut abattu dans la forêt.
On le débita,
et on en fit du papier.
Avec tout ce papier,
on fabriqua mille bouquins.
Il suffisait de les ouvrir
à n’importe quelle page
pour écouter, tel un écho lointain,
le chant des oiseaux
dans le feuillage de l’arbre.”
“There is only one way to keep ourselves alive and that is to keep the earth alive!”
“Nature consumes everything it creates.
Nature creates only what it can consume.
प्रकृति हर सृजन का उपभोग करती है
प्रकृति उपभोग हेतु सृजन करती है
October 1 World Vegetarian Day”
“From Nature all life springs. To Her we all return. Keep Her in good mood. Do good things for Her in such a manner that She offers only good for us in return. Taking Her patience for granted, we are putting ourselves in trouble.
Beware of Her wrath!
Happy World Environment Day!”
“A tree that is five, six, eight, or fifteen feet across, the champions we are cloning, is what the size of all the trees in our forests once was, that all of America was covered with, not just one lone, last solider standing. When we look at the trees around us, we're looking at the runts, the leftovers. The whole country should be forested coast to coast with these giants, not with the puny, scraggly, miserable mess we call our forests. We don't realize what we've lost.
The champions do their best in communities that are hundreds or thousands of acres. They're struggling in little pockets to hang on... We're in the fifty-ninth minute of the last hour.”

“De onmacht die je voelt wanneer je een pen vasthoudt in de hand waarmee je normaal gesproken niet schrijft, in mijn geval mijn linkerhand; vergelijkbaar met de onmacht die je kunt voelen in sociale situaties, ruzies voorop. Je bent juist uitgerust, fysiek gezien klopt de situatie, maar hoe beweeg je je voort, hoe druk je je uit zonder te gaan trillen?”

“The United States granted asylum to exactly eight of 24,559 Haitian refugees applying for political asylum during that period [1981]... only 20 percent of those polled [in the US] said immigration should be easier for Haitians, while 55 percent said it should be more difficult. After a decade during which less than 0.5 percent of Haitian applicants were granted asylum, one wonders how much more difficult it could be.”
