Quotes

Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future. Niels Bohr ************************* US policy resembles a giant flailing in quicksand. Its policy is sinking under the weight of its own contradictions. Nigel Gould Davies ************************* The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith ************************* No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. Heraclitus *************************** It's not about business for us, it's about our lives. Volodymyr Zelensky ************************** In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot. Czesław Miłosz
