�All stereotypes turn out to be true. This is a horrifying thing about life. All those things you fought against as a youth: you begin to realize they�re stereotypes because they�re true.�
- David Cronenberg (b. 1943), Canadian film-maker: �Cronenberg on Cronenberg�, ed. Chris Rodley, 1992.
�The fear of raising taxes is a matter of political error. Power has passed to the people who are conservative and comfortable and who are able to do without the public services which are so important to those in our central cities and to the poor. This is one of the great misfortunes of our time.�
- John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908), American economist: interview in �Singular Encounters� by Naim Attallah, 1990.
�Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.�
- Saul Alinski (1909 � 1972), American political activist: �Rules for Radicals�, 1971.
�No two people see the external world in exactly the same way. To every separate person a thing is what he thinks it is � in other words, not a thing, but a think.�
- Penelope Fitzgerald (1916 - 2000), British author: Shippey, in �The Gate of Angels�, 1990.
