Quote by George Orwell

“Volvimos de España hace unas seis semanas, después de unas experiencias bastante malas hasta escapar por la frontera con la policía a un paso de nosotros.

(The Chinese transliterated kalpa as kiap and translated it as "great time." In the Japanese game of Go there is a rule known as kō [Japanese for kiap] to prevent stalemates through constant repetition. Without it, the game could continue indefinitely.)”

“Jamie aveva orrore di qualsiasi forma di estremismo e sosteneva che i guerriglieri si giustificano solo durante la tirannia, quando non c’è altra scelta che battersi con le armi, ma che sono un’aberrazione in un paese dove i cambiamenti si possono ottenere con votazioni popolari.”
