E sono d'accordo con Winston Churchill, secondo il quale un fanatico e una persona che non cambia opinione e non e capace di cambiare argomento | Gregory David Roberts | ||

| 7f3ae73 | I was exiled from my family, homeland, and culture. I thought that was the whole of it. Years into the banishment, I realised that I was exiled to something, as well. What I escaped to was the lonely, reckless freedom of the outcast. | Gregory David Roberts | ||
| 00fe519 | I think that we all, each one of us, we all have to earn our future,' she said slowly. 'I think the future is like anything else that's important. It has to be earned. If we don't earn it, we don't have a future at all. | Gregory David Roberts | ||

| 2c61fd6 | A politician is someone who promises you a bridge, even when there's no river. | Gregory David Roberts | ||
| be91519 | Khader aveva cercato di spiegarmi che ogni uomo ha la possibilita di cambiare il proprio destino. Avevo sempre pensato che il fatto fosse immutabile: determinato al momento della nascita e fisso come le orbite delle stelle. All'improvviso compresi che la vita e molto piu bella e complessa. La verita e che fortuna e sfortuna non contano, e non importa cio che stai facendo: puoi cambiare completamente la tua vita con un solo pensiero, con un .. | Gregory David Roberts | ||

| f0d6da8 | But it's not true. It's the other way round. Money isn't the root of all evil. Evil is the root of all money. There's no such thing as clean money. All the money in the world is dirty, in some way, because there's no clean way to make it. | Gregory David Roberts | ||

| 1fa6e7d | L'anima non ha cultura. L'anima non ha nazione. L'anima non ha colore, accento stile di vita. L'anima e per sempre. L'anima e una. E quando il cuore prova un momento di verita, di dolore, l'anima non sa restare immobile.
