Nya citat 2001-11-13
De troende fortsatte att samlas och hade allting gemensamt. De sålde allt vad de ägde och hade och delade ut åt alla, efter vars och ens behov.
Apg 2:44-45, om den första kristna församlingen
Briberization
Joseph Stiglitz, former Chief Economist of the World Bank, giving a more accurate word for the bank's plans for privatizations in Third World countries
I was a terrible history student. They taught me history as if it were a visit to a wax museum or to the land of the dead. I was over twenty before I discovered that the past was neither quiet nor mute. ...
This world, this slaughterhouse, this nuthouse, is this the work of God or man? What past time gave birth to this present? Why have some countries become owners of other countries, and some men owners of other men, and men owners of women, and women of children, and things owners of people?
I am not a historian. I am a writer obsessed with remembering, with remembering the past of America above all, and above all that of Latin America, intimate land condemned to amnesia.
Eduardo Galeano
Why we divided the world into left and right was because we found through our experience that there are basically two kinds of people: There are those people who care, about their families, about their jobs, about their communities, about the environment and about the planet.
And then there's the other lot who don't give a shit about anything except their own, selfish greed.
Billy Bragg

Nu är det inte tid att vara nogräknad med att finna EXAKT de individer som varit direkt inblandade i just den här terroristattacken... Vi borde invadera deras länder, döda deras ledare och omvända dem till kristendomen.
Ann Coulter, krönikör National Rewiew Online, den 13 september 2001
If you really want to change the world, don't smash McDonald's. Go in there and organize a union - now that would change the world.
Billy Bragg
The civilized have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their "vital interests" are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the "sanctity" of human life, or the "conscience" of the civilized world.
James Baldwin
Som journalist är det lämpligt att förhålla sig neutral när man bevakar institutioner som är relativt jämnbördiga. Men här råder ju en konflikt mellan Amerika och mördande barbarer.
Brit Hume, Fox News Channel, om kriget mot Afghanistan
ANVÄND INTE nyhetstelegram som inleds med civila offer. De bör nämnas längre ner i texten. Om storyn behöver skrivas om, för att tona ner uppgifterna, GÖR DET.
