I have a background and an understanding of what's happened in the Middle East that a lot of people don't have, because there's been no interest.
I saw in 'the wandering Jew' the personification of the Jewish people, exiled in the Middle Ages. Nevertheless, they are once again extremely rich, owing to their unfailing rude greediness and their indefatigable activity. With their hard-heartedness that they extend toward people of other faiths and races they are at the point of making themselves kings of the world. This people can thank its obstinacy that France will be Judized within fifty years. Already some wise Jews prophesy this frankly.
You can't stop a reform in the middle. You do it completely and pretty fast, or you don't do it.
Whenever my mother talks to me, she begins the conversation as if we were already in the middle of an argument.
Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don’t, right?
Everybody gets everything handed to them. The rich inherit it. I don't mean just inheritance of money. I mean what people take for granted among the middle and upper classes, which is nepotism, the old-boy network.

There are two threats to reason, the opinion that one knows the truth about the most important things and the opinion that there is no truth about them.

If destiny could bring two people together, then it could just as easily tear them apart, and, if it could tear two people apart, then it could just as easily bring them back together again. There was no beginning, middle and end to destiny. It wasn't neat and manageable. It was random and scary.

Bush and the corporate kleptocrats have stomped on too many people and left too many people out of the system, and those people are now in rebellion.

And what am I doing in this hand basket?"
The Secret Service hates to complain about something. They're secret by nature. They're not boastful; they don't like to be in the limelight.
