• I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.

  Beryl Markham

• Heroes are not giant statues framed against a red sky. They are people who say: This is my community, and it is my responsibility to make it better. Interweave all these communities and you really have an America that is back on its feet again. I really think we are gonna have to reassess what constitutes a 'hero'.

• Es un verdadero enigma por qué la gente es tan reacia al verdadero capitalismo de libre mercado, incluso ahora. Aquí estamos, en el siglo que ha visto a Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Castro, Pol Pot, y todavía se nos advierte contra los "barones ladrones" del siglo XIX. No sé si Jay Gould o John D. Rockefeller mataron alguna vez a alguien. El Estado ha matado a innumerables personas y, sin embargo, siempre se supone que debemos permanecer en guardia contra estos "villanos codiciosos" de antaño.

• I am just...wondering, where is the glow of yesteryear? I'm wondering where the heroes went. Gosh, I don't know how long ago they left. Heroes are not giant statues framed against a red sky. They are people who say: This is my community, and it is my responsibility to make it better. Interweave all these communities, and you really have an America that is back on its feet, a comfortable nation to live in again. I really think we're gonna have to reassess what constitutes a hero.

• Para los partidarios de la multiculturalidad/diversidad, la cultura, las ideas, las costumbres, las artes y las habilidades son una cuestión de pertenencia racial en la que uno no tiene más control sobre su cultura que sobre su raza. Es una idea racista, pero es un racismo políticamente correcto. Dice que las convicciones, el carácter y los valores de uno no están determinados por el juicio y las elecciones personales, sino genéticamente. En otras palabras, como sostenían los racistas de antaño: la raza determina la identidad.

From the beginning of his presidency to the present, he has spoken specifically and in unprecedented fashion of Republicans as his rivals, his stumbling blocks, the primary cause of his troubles.
