Quote by Soroosh Shahrivar

“The world belongs to the rich, she thought, and everybody else is here to serve them. Maybe Amir’s father was right. Maybe money is, above all else, the most important matter in life.”

“With a rose garden blanket thrown on her legs that matched her roosari, her scarf, she ran her liver-spotted hand across her left arm and said, “A hunter in Lorestan was hunting for wild goats. He spots one and chases it into a cave. He waited outside until the goat came out of the cave. When the goat finally comes out, he shoots it in the head and it dies on the spot. He approaches the goat and sees it had a wet goatee. He immediately knew there was water in the cave. So he went inside and after a fifteen-minute drop to the bottom he discovers a carved room filled with gold. There was so much gold that he could build an entire house with it. He starts to go back to the cave day by day to collect the gold. The people in his village figured there was something suspicious going on with the hunter so a few of them followed him once. They then discovered the hidden gold too. They all agreed that since he never shared it with the rest of the tribe, he should be killed. They killed him and started to take the gold themselves. Eventually all of the villagers dispersed throughout the country and the gold was nowhere to be found. Some say it is abroad and some say it is scattered all over the country. But what do I know? I never saw it because I lost both my eyes during the war.”

“Oud manager Heineken: 'Ik kan je vanuit de grond van mijn hart zeggen dat we bij Heineken zaken willen verbeteren en positief willen bijdragen aan de samenlevingen waar we opereren. We proberen ons aan alle regels te houden, hoe moeilijk dat ook is. Het steekt me dat dat onderuit wordt gehaald met opmerkingen dat alles voor ons marketing en commercie is. Het is heel lastig om een eiland van perfectie te zijn in een zee van ellende, maar twijfel niet aan de oprechtheid.' Heineken als eiland van perfectie. En Afrika? Het continent waar Heineken sinds meer dan een eeuw vele miljarden heeft verdiend? 'Een zee van ellende.' Maar twijfel niet aan de goede bedoelingen.”
