• When I come to a new city is I combine: I say, well, it's like Barcelona and Edinburgh, though I can't imagine what that would be. But Toronto, the last few times I've been here, what always comes up is Chicago and West Berlin. It's a big, sprawling city beside a lake, of a certain age and a certain architectural complexity. But the high-end retail core looks more like West Germany than the Magnificent Mile. Yonge Street is like K-Damm. There's an excess of surface marble and bronze: it's Germanic and as pretentious as pretentious can be.

• I believe that the Europeans, first and foremost, the Germans, will also understand me. Let me remind you that in the course of political consultations on the unification of East and West Germany... some nations that were then and are now Germany's allies did not support the idea of unification. Our nation, however, unequivocally supported the sincere, unstoppable desire of the Germans for national unity. I am confident that you have not forgotten this, and I expect that the citizens of Germany will also support the aspiration of the Russians, of historical Russia, to restore unity.

  Vladimir Putin

• Tenemos la mayor concentración de abogados de la Tierra: uno por cada quinientos estadounidenses; tres veces más que en Inglaterra, cuatro veces más que en Alemania Occidental, veintiuna veces más que en Japón. Tenemos más litigios, pero no estoy seguro de que tengamos más justicia. Ningún recurso de talento y formación en nuestra propia sociedad, ni siquiera la asistencia médica, está distribuido de forma más despilfarradora o injusta que las competencias jurídicas. El 90% de nuestros abogados sirven al 10% de nuestra gente. Estamos sobreabogados e infrarrepresentados.

• I defy my honored opponents to give me the name of a single man imprisoned in the United States, Great Britain, or West Germany for being an atheist. But in former communist countries, millions of our Christian brothers and sisters in faith have passed through jails or been killed. Who has fought for freedom and obtained it - atheists or Christians?
