“The sky was dripping. Like a tap that a child has tried its hardest to turn off but hasn't quite managed. At first, the drops were cool. I felt them on my hands as I walked down from Frau Diller's, in the middle of the road. Above me, I could hear them. Through the overcast sky, I looked up and saw the tin-can planes. I watched their stomachs open and drop the bombs casually out. ... The bombs came down and soon the clouds would bake and the cold raindrops would turn to ash. Hot snowflakes would shower to the ground.”

“Do you know what guerrillas often say? They claim that their rebellions are invulnerable to economic warfare because they have no economy, that they are parasitic on those they would overthrow. The fools merely fail to access the coin in which they must inevitably pay. The pattern is inexorable in its degenerative failures. You see it repeated in the systems of slavery, of welfare states, of caste-ridden religions, of socializing bureaucracies -- in any system in which creates and maintains dependencies. Too long a parasite and you cannot exist without a host.”

“Een klucht is dat. Aan het geld van de multinationals geraakt hij toch niet, die zitten met fiscale constructies in het buitenland. De kleine zelfstandigen en de KMO’s zullen de dupe zijn. Crombez z’n plannen gaan trouwens tegen alle rechtsbeginselen in. Hij wil dat elke zelfstandige aantoont dat hij niet fraudeert. Bewijzen dat je iets niet gedaan hebt, dat gaat niet! De fiscus moet aantonen dat je in fout bent, niet omgekeerd! Crombez wringt het basisprincipe van de rechtspraak de nek om. Het toont nog maar eens de onbekwaamheid van onze politici aan.”
