• A little criticism makes me angry, and a little rejection makes me depressed. A little praise raises my spirits, and a little success excites me. It takes very little to raise me up or thrust me down. Often I am like a small boat on the ocean, completely at the mercy of its waves. All the time and energy I spend in keeping some kind of balance and preventing myself from being tipped over and drowning shows my life is mostly a struggle for survival: not a holy struggle, but an anxious struggle resulting from the mistaken idea that it is the world that defines me.

• The violence that we had in the 60's was limited. The next time it will be unlimited because the violence in the 60's was a struggle for human dignity and for human rights. The next struggle will be a struggle for survival and it will not just be limited to Black people or Black against white, but it will be the poor people, the masses of the people of the country, struggling for the right to live or the right to survive.

  Robert F. Williams

• Docs are more exhausting because of the physical labor that's required. Feature filmmaking is more exhausting because of politics and the bullshit. You get to the point of rolling film and until you lock picture it's one political game after another. They're both struggles for survival. They are two different worlds.

• Debemos movilizar rápidamente a nuestra civilización con la urgencia y la determinación que hasta ahora sólo se habían visto cuando las naciones se movilizaban para la guerra.

• Israel existe; tiene derecho a existir en paz tras unas fronteras seguras y defendibles; y tiene derecho a exigir a sus vecinos que reconozcan estos hechos. He seguido y apoyado personalmente la heroica lucha de Israel por su supervivencia, desde la fundación del Estado de Israel hace 34 años. En las fronteras anteriores a 1967, Israel apenas tenía 16 kilómetros de ancho en su punto más estrecho. El grueso de la población israelí vivía al alcance de la artillería de ejércitos árabes hostiles. No voy a pedir a Israel que vuelva a vivir así.

  Ronald Reagan

• A population weakened and exhausted by battling against so many obstacles - whose needs are never satisfied and desires never fulfilled - is vulnerable to manipulation and regimentation. The struggle for survival is, above all, an exercise that is hugely time-consuming, absorbing and debilitating. If you create these ''anti-conditions,'' your rule is guaranteed for a hundred years.

• To the non-combatants and those on the periphery of action, the war meant only boredom or occasional excitement, but to those who entered the meat grinder itself the war was a netherworld of horror from which escape seemed less and less likely as casualties mounted and the fighting dragged on and on. Time had no meaning, life had no meaning. The fierce struggle for survival in the abyss of Peleliu had eroded the veneer of civilization and made savages of us all.

  Eugene B. Sledge

• El Alto Romanticismo nos muestra la naturaleza en todas sus duras y bellas metamorfosis. Inundaciones, incendios y terremotos nos devuelven a la lucha primigenia por la supervivencia y revelan nuestra grosera dependencia de fuerzas descomunales, aún misteriosas.
