"History seems to be so clumsy."

-- Robert Johnson

“Isn't it sad that you can tell people that the ozone layer is being depleted, the forests are being cut down, the deserts are advancing steadily, that the greenhouse effect will raise the sea level 200 feet, that overpopulation is choking us, that pollution is killing us, that nuclear war may destroy us - and they yawn and settle back for a comfortable nap. But tell them that the Martians are landing, and they scream and run.”
“The time for arguing about the powers the people want is over. It's time now to use the powers that we have.”
“There never has been a time in our history when work was so abundant or when wages were as high, whether measured by the currency in which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life.”

“Every country has it trade offs.”
“Politics is a fascinating game, because politics is government. It is the art of government.”
“The problem with us EU politicians is that we approach everything with cool rationality, and then wonder why we don't win people over emotionally.”
“Most unfortunately, in the lives of puppets there is always a 'but' that spoils everything.”

“The biggest mistake people make is to try to lose too much weight too fast.”
