Who I'd like to meet:

"Mas existe nesta terra muito homem de valor
que é bravo sem matar gente, mas não teme o matador,
que gosta da sua gente e que luta a seu favor,
como Gregório Bezerra, feito de ferro e de flor."
~~ Ferreira Gullar for Gregório Bezerra ~~

"If I were king, I would send all the Flemings to Wallonia and all the Walloons to Flanders for six months. Like military service. They would live with a family and that would solve all our ethnic and linguistic problems very fast. Because everybody's tooth aches in the same way, everybody loves their mother, everybody loves or hates spinach. And those are the things that really count."
~~ Jacques Brel ~~

“I am opposed to a nation carrying the weapons of murder about it as well as an individual. I am resolutely opposed to the whole damned infernal arming business and the whole diabolical program of human butchery. To hell with war and to hell with the system that breeds war and with the government that prepares for war. Like you I yearn to see one nation have the moral courage, the common decency to be a coward nation, the first nation in history too cowardly to commit murder and to thrive in the fruit of murder.”
~~ Eugene Debs ~~..............
