Great quotes.


Recommended Posts

"In 1940 I could at least fly as far as Glasgow in most of my aircraft, but not now! It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy. The British, who can afford aluminium better than we can, knock together a beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over there is building, and they give it a speed which they have now increased yet again..."

 

– Hermann Göring, 1943

 

Oh ! the irony

Master Smeeth,

 

"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats"

 

I do not know about "normal", but, believe me, sir, you have noooooo idea...

 

As Master Cumberbatch stated, just the other night,

 

"I may be on the side of the angels...but don't think for one second that I am one of them."

 

And yet, I remain,

 

Your humble servant.

â€Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders and millions have been killed because of this obedience. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty, starvation, stupidity, war and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves and the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.†— Howard Zinn.
