“My life is about my journey, and your life is about your journey. You are completely unqualified to draw my map, and I am completely unqualified to draw yours. I hope you'll let me know all about the path you've found, so that I may judge it for myself against my own path, and have the freedom to choose between the two. But please don't try and drag me from my path on to yours, and I will be sure to return the favor.” KnowsLifeTryingMayTwoLife IsFoundMy OwnPathJourneyJudgingReturnPleaseDrawsLet MeFavorsMapsDragMy JourneyFreedom To ChooseUnqualified Author:Derek R.

“I have lived with my conscience and my own memories for over quarter of a century since the events of 1973. These are not easy reflections for me. But I am at peace with myself, and with the Chilean people, about what happened. I am clear in my mind that the return to Chile of true democracy, and from that the true freedom to which all individual people are entitled, could not have been achieved without the removal of the Marxist government.” PeopleMindHas BeensGovernmentIndividualEasyMemoriesMy OwnDemocracyClearHappenedCenturyEventsReturnReflectionConscienceQuartersEntitledMarxistRemovalChileTrue FreedomTrue DemocracyQuarter Of A CenturyChileans Author:Augusto Pinochet
“I have, for my own projected works and ideas, only the silliest and dewiest of hopes; no matter what, I am romantic enough or sentimental enough to wish to contribute something to life's fabric, to the world's beauty.... [S]imply to live does not justify existence, for life is a mere gesture on the surface of the earth, and death a return to that from which we had never been wholly separated; but oh to leave a trace, no matter how faint, of that brief gesture! For someone, some day, may find it beautiful!” WorldMayDoeIdeasMatterEnoughEarthBeautifulLife IsWishMy OwnExistenceReturnNo Matter WhatMereSurfaceJustifyGesturesFabricSentimental Author:Frank O'Hara
“Dachau has been my own lifelong point of no return. Between the moment when I walked through the gate of that prison, with its infamous motto, 'Arbeit Macht Frei,' and when I walked out at the end of a day that had no ordinary scale of hours, I was changed, and how I looked at the human condition, the world we live in, changed ... Years of war had taught me a great deal, but war was nothing like Dachau. Compared to Dachau, war was clean.” WorldYearsHumansHas BeensWarEndsMomentsHoursMy OwnDealsConditionsChangedTaughtReturnOrdinaryPrisonCleanScalesWar Of The WorldsGatesWorld War IiHolocaustHuman ConditionWorld War IMottoLifelongInfamousDachau Author:Martha Gellhorn
