Foreigner Quotes

The intellectual is called on the carpet... Don’t you conceal something? You talk a language which is suspect.

The more local and settled a culture, the better it stays put, the less the damage. It is the foreigner whose road of excess leads to a desert... a man with a machine and inadequate culture... is a pestilence. He shakes more than he can hold Picture Quote #1
