Quotes by Mark Steel (?)

“The statement by Paul McCartney that, although he was a pacifist, he couldn’t be at this time of war. Which is as daft as being a vegetarian between meals.”

“Modern dünyanın adaletsizliklerine en büyük korumayı sağlayan, bu adaletsizliklerin doğru olduğunu değil, kaçınılmaz olduğunu ileri süren görüştür; "Her zaman zenginler ve fakirler olacaktır," ya da "Her zaman üste çıkacak birileri olacaktır." Eski Roma'da insanların şöyle dediklerine eminim: "Kalabalıkları birbirlerini öldüren gladyatörleri seyretmekten alıkoyamazsınız; ne yapalım, insan doğası böyle. Demek istediğim, birbirini kılıçla doğramak yerine, birbirine gol atmaya çalışan insanları seyrederek eğlenecek bir toplum asla olmayacak! Böyle bir şeye siz inanabilir misiniz?”
