  • Quote

    Een beetje ouderwets misschien, maar wie was dat tegenwoordig niet? Ouderwets, maar toch loyaal ten opzichte van zijn eigen tijd. Op een zeker ogenblik moet tenslotte elk mens een keus maken: zal hij vooruit gaan, of zal hij achteruit gaan? Het was geen schande, als je je niet door elke moderne windvlaag liet meenemen. Je kon maar beter je eigenwaarde in stand houden, je verschansen, en als een eik te midden van je eigen generatie staan.

And Vice-President Dick Cheney smiled sheepishly. *Shudder*... I don't even DRINK coke. I tastes like robot sweat.
