“The military is the largest polluter in the country, and so you have a lot of military waste contaminating reservations - as, for example, on the Skull Valley Goshute Reservation, where 5,000 sheep died in some kind of experimental military nerve gas test 10 years ago. Many of our communities are dealing with that kind of waste, and an absence of political will to clean them up.” YearsKindCountryPoliticalCommunityMilitaryExampleWasteYears AgoTestsDiedCleanEnvironmentalAbsenceGasNervesValleysSheepPollutionSkullsOur CommunityReservationsPolitical Will Author:Winona LaDuke
“The scriptures provide one of the best ways to find our course and stay on it. Scriptural knowledge also provides precious protection. For example, throughout history, infections like “childbirth fever” claimed the lives of many innocent mothers and babies. Yet the Old Testament had the correct principles for the handling of infected patients, written more than 3,000 years ago! Many people perished because man’s quest for knowledge had failed to heed the word of the Lord!” PeopleMenWayYearsMotherCoursesLordPrinciplesWrittenExampleBabyYears AgoPatientProtectionScriptureBest WayInnocentQuestsTestamentFeverHeedOld TestamentChildbirthInfectionMother And Baby Author:Russell M.

“Words can mean different things to different people. It is important to understand what people mean when they use a certain word. Let's make an example. Take the word gay. Fifty years ago, gay meant exclusively cheerfulness, lighthearted excitement, merry or bright colors. Today this word has a different meaning. You won't call a cheerful person gay because it could be understood as something else.” PeopleYearsMeanPersonsImportantDifferentUseTodayCertainExampleColorGayUnderstoodYears AgoExcitementFiftyDifferent ThingsCheerfulDifferent PeoplesMerryCheerfulnessDifferent MeaningsBright Colors Author:Ali Sina
“Well, we have got to understand, for example, Russia is an orthodox Christian nation. So is Ukraine.

“I remember when I read Walter, for example, six years ago now, I said, "This is the role for me." I said that to my family.

“Autobiographical writings, essays, interviews, various other things... All the non-fiction prose I wanted to keep, that was the idea behind this collected volume, which came out about few years ago. I didn't think of Winter Journal, for example, as an autobiography, or a memoir. What it is is a literary work, composed of autobiographical fragments, but trying to attain, I hope, the effect of music.” ThinkingWritingTryingYearsIdeasWantedBehindsFictionEffectsExampleYears AgoWinterVariousMemoirInterviewsProseVolumeJournalAutobiographyEssaysFragmentsNon FictionLiterary WorksWriting Essays Author:Paul Auster
“It is very difficult to enter a single currency zone having fairly weak economic parameters and maintain a favourable state of the economy, not to mention positive growth rates. We have witnessed it not only in Europe, but for example in Argentina (nearly 10 years ago or more), when they tied the national currency to the dollar and later they did not know what to do about it.” KnowsYearsStatesDifficultGrowthEconomyEconomicExampleEuropeYears AgoWeakDollarsRateZoneTiedCurrencyArgentinaParameters Author:Vladimir Putin
“Things have gotten openly more extreme in the last few years. I was lecturing in Hungary, whose prime minister, Victor Orban, is an example of this trend.

“As filmmakers, we want the audience to have the most complete experience they can. For example, I interviewed Stanley Kubrick years ago around the time of '2001: A Space Odyssey.'
