Primo Levi
“Нула Осемдесет беше много млад и това представляваше голяма опасност. Не само защото момчетата понасяха по-тежко умората и глада от възрастните, но защото за да оцелееш тъй беше нужна дълга тренировка в борбата на всеки срещу всички, каквато младите рядко притежават. Нула Осемнадесет дори не бе особено отслабнал, но всички отказваха да работят с него. До такава степен всичко му беше безразлично, че вече не се стараеше да избегне умората и поборя, не правеше опити да си набави допълнителна храна. Изпълняваше всички заповеди, които получаваше и естествено бе да се очаква, че когато го изпратят на смърт, ще тръгне със същото пълно безразличие.”
Primo Levi, If This Is a Man • The Truce

Rudyard Kipling
“Cites and Thrones and Powers
Stand in Time's eye
Which daily die;
But, as new buds put forth
To glad new men,
Out of the spend and unconsidered Earth,
The cities will rise again”
Rudyard Kipling, Puck of Pook's Hill

Tim Butcher
“the normal laws of development are inverted here in the Congo. The forest, not the town, offers the safest sanctuary and it is grandfathers who have been more exposed to modernity than their grandchildren. I can think of nowhere else on the planet where the same can be true.” p141”
Tim Butcher, Blood River: A Journey to Africa’s Broken Heart

Irma S. Rombauer
“Birds sold as free-range or free-roaming must be given access to the outside, however that is the ony requirement; the area to which they have access may be small, and consist of gravel and no forage of any kind. The term pastured or pasture-raised tends to be more meaningful, as this practice can affect the flavor and size of the birds...The term "natural" is unregulated and essentially meaningless. According to the current USDA standards, no poultry may be given hormones; thus, poultry labeled as "hormone-free" is akin to labeling bottled water "no carbs" or "fat free.”
Irma S. Rombauer, Joy of Cooking

Michael G. Kramer
“He said, “Sir, we are in a very bad position! We have lost many soldiers KIA (Killed in Action) and many more are wounded. Sir, today is the twenty third of March, and I suggest that we get the hell out of the entire Hoa Binh area before we all end up as dead men!”
Michael G. Kramer
