Quote by Eric C. Holtgrefe

“, Get in! I ain’t rolling out a red carpet,” said Hot Dog. “Wow, you guys, and gal, look so rugged, can I get a picture?” Possum said. “Only if you’re quick,” Hot dog said. Jurgen and Maricela grabbed seats. Possum put the camera up to his head and took the shot. As soon as Possum finished Hot dog yanked him into the APC. The APC started rolling, simultaneously closing its hatch. Possum sat next to Jurgen. “Aw, man, this always happens to me. We have to go back, man!” Possum said. “No can do. Why you want to go back?” Jurgen said. “Man, I totally forgot to take the lens cap off! I totally blew my shot,” Possum said. “Tough break,” Jurgen said. Possum began bemoaning how the universe hated him.”

“Understanding that this voice is a misguided attempt to shield you from failure by bombarding you with self-criticism is the first step to putting it in its place.”

“Sometimes standing for truth is painful and an isolated journey because truth is not always what we like to hear and live with. However, it is your belief in the purity of truth, your confidence in yourself and your godly values that will give you the strength to be a torchbearer of truth. With truth you are always a winner even if it comes late or with a price to pay.”

“...A onda sam se sapleo o to „pobeći”. Kad odeš, bežiš; kad bežiš, smatraš sebe slabijim. Kad se smatraš slabijim, ili uzmeš da ojačaš ili će tvoj život uvek biti nekakvo bežanje. I onda mi sine: sve je do ugla kamere. Ako si pesimista, uvek ćeš da nađeš nekog tužnog violinistu što svira rekvijem boljem sutra i demaskira ga u „malo sutra”. Uvek ćeš da nađeš ubedljiv dokaz da smo propali i da ništa ne vredi ni trud, ni talenat, ni vera u svoju zemlju. Ali, sa druge strane, ako gurneš ruku u gaće i napipaš ono ispod falusa, naći ćeš ne samo žargonski sinonim za hrabrost, nego i sidro koje će te zadržati ovde. Lakim pogledom oko sebe, videćeš ljude koji su uspešni i vredni svojoj zemlji, a nisu lopine. Samo ako si voljan da tako usmeriš kameru. Sve se bira. Ja sam tada odabrao tako, i nikad više nisam razmišljao da odem. (...) I dalje mi je žao prosjaka s violinom, ali sam uveren da takav postoji i u Americi.”

“سأل الرئيس الأمريكي الرب قائلا : متي ستصبح أمريكا شيوعية ؟ فأجاب الرب : ليس في عهدك ... و سأله كسترو : متي ستصبح كوبا رأسمالية ؟ فأجاب الرب : ليس في عهدك.. و سأله أخيرا الرئيس البرازلى : متي ستتخلص البرازيل من نكبة قروضيها ؟ فأجاب الرب : لا أعتقد أن ذلك سيتم في عهدي ...”

“1964: O zamanlar ABD Hava Kuvvetleri kurmay başkanı olan General Curtis Le May, Kuzey Vietnam'a kitlesel bomba taarruzunu başlatırken, Vietnamlıları bombalarla "Taş Devri'ne geri göndermeyi" planladığını söylemişti. Demek ki bir halkı yok etmek onları zamanda geriye göndermek anlamına geliyor. Sonuçta ABD ordusu, genişliği California' dan daha fazla olmayan bir ülkenin tepesine on bin tondan fazla bomba yağdıracaktı Dünya Savaşı boyunca atılmış tüm bombaların toplamından daha fazlasını.”
