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 you know what happened next in my dream? Dick Cheney and I said the same thing at the same time: "Well, we had a Cold War to win." And then I screamed at him: "I KNEW you would say that! You ALWAYS say that!" But then, since Cheney and I made the same remark at the same time, I realized he owed me a Coke. So I said, "Jinx! You owe me a Coke!" And Vice-President Dick Cheney smiled sheepishly. *Shudder*... I don't even DRINK coke. I tastes like robot sweat.

Quote
I returned from the West, and brought home in my nostrils and nerves that benumbing lethargy, imprudent hostility, and arrogant superiority with which the West viewed the fate of Eastern Europe.
