�The truth is not simply what you think it is; it is also the circumstances in which it is said, and to whom, why, and how it is said.�
- V�clav Havel (b. 1936), Czech playwright and president: �Disturbing the Peace�, 1986, tr. 1990.
�If you get hung up on everybody else�s hang-ups, then the whole world�s going to be nothing more than one huge gallows.�
- Richard Brautigan (1935 � 1984), American novelist and poet: �The Abortion: An Historical Romance 1966�, 1970.
�Don�t think for a moment that the middle-class journalist cares at all for the truth; to be in some way honest; to be personal. He completely depersonalizes himself, to allow himself to speak to a hypothetical public, one which he naturally considers right-thinking but idiotic, normal but ferocious, uncensored but vile.�
- Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922 � 1975), Italian film-maker and essayist: �Le belle bandiere� (column) in �Vie nuove�, Oct 15, 1960, reprinted in �Pasolini Requiem� by David Barth Schwartz, 1992.
