“When the construction was announced to continue as planned, the tribe and their allies came together. People from across two hundred tribes and beyond to other communities came together to try and protect their water, their lives. They were met with forces from the National Guard and seventy-five other law enforcement agencies across the country. These forces used concussion grenades and automatic rifles against civilians. They spent hours shooting them with water cannons in subfreezing temperatures to try and make them give in.”

“Since 1849 I have studied incessantly, under all its aspects, a question which was already in my mind since 1832. I confess that my scheme is still a mere dream, and I do not shut my eyes to the fact that so long as I alone believe it to be possible, it is virtually impossible. ... The scheme in question is the cutting of a canal through the Isthmus of Suez. This has been thought of from the earliest historical times, and for that very reason is looked upon as impracticable. Geographical dictionaries inform us indeed that the project would have been executed long ago but for insurmountable obstacles. [On his inspiration for the Suez Canal.]”

“Nunca se sabe o que uma viagem pode trazer ao íntimo do coração. Como se o tempo de repente dum outro modo fluísse, ou mesmo a qualidade da sua hora mudasse, e uma coisa perdida aparecesse, uma dúvida se quebra, um amor acaba, e outro que nunca se tinha imaginado, de repente, nasce. Objetos que sempre tivemos por separados atam as pontas, imagens que boiam nas nossas vidas sem ligação juntam-se e criam uma nova sequência com sentido. Outras vezes a clarividência da distância torna-se tão luminosa que se vê o fim do fim, e deseja-se regressar, ainda que não seja a lugar nenhum.”
