Wall Quotes

Every Westerner is jubilating that the Berlin Wall has fallen. Something worst than the Berlin Wall is in Palestine; and nobody is talking about it Picture Quote #1

I graduated in 1989, and I’d focused almost entirely on the Soviet Union and communism ... so when the Berlin wall fell, I was, well, I was screwed Picture Quote #1

After the Berlin Wall came down and Communism was on the run, I looked around and wondered what the next threat to the United States would be Picture Quote #1

I think graffiti is part of Berlin culture. You think about what the Berlin wall meant and how visible that was in everyone’s life. How it was a part of their very identity Picture Quote #1

From the beginning, we failed to overcome Europe’s division. The Berlin Wall fell, but invisible walls were moved to the East of Europe. This has led to mutual misunderstandings and assignments of guilt. They are the cause of all crises ever since Picture Quote #1

In August 1961, I visited President Kennedy at Hyannis Port. The Berlin Wall was going up, and he was about to begin a huge military buildup - reluctantly, or so he said, as he puffed on a cigar liberated by a friend from Castro’s Cuba Picture Quote #1

NATO was constructed on the - with the reason, whether one believes it or not, that it was going to defend Western Europe from Russian assault. Once the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union was beginning to collapse, that reason was gone. So, first question: why does NATO exist? Picture Quote #1

The fall of the Berlin Wall is very much a sequel, a continuation of the story about Eastern Europe emerging from war and Communism. The notion of presenting history as a story also appealed to me very much, since that is the way I look at the events I cover as a reporter Picture Quote #1

Socialism is the gradual and less violent form of communism, and socialist is the project of the European Union, which was born in Maastricht in 1992. The intent was to save socialism in Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the predictable bankruptcy of the welfare state in the West as well Picture Quote #1

So at last the communists who piled out of the Berlin Wall and into the environmental movement and took over Greenpeace so that my friends who founded it left within a year because they’d captured it. Now the apotheosis is at hand. They are about to impose a communist world government on the world Picture Quote #1

Architects design buildings; that’s what we do, so we have to go with the flow; and, even though I’m still an old Leftie, global capitalism does have its good side. It’s broken down barriers - the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union - it’s raised a lot of people up economically, and for architects, it has meant that we can work around the world Picture Quote #1

Fall of the Berlin wall? Being there was fun. Nations that flaked off of the Soviet Union in southeastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus? Being there was not so fun Picture Quote #1

Notionally a left-wing movement, the Anti-Germans were born after the collapse of the Berlin wall. While most Germans rejoiced at the end of the Cold War, the Anti-Germans feared that a united Germany might lead to a fourth Reich - and a return of anti-Semitism Picture Quote #1

It’s different when you’re trying to turn something around, especially something that you built, at a time when so many constituents - the media, Wall Street, competitors, ex-employees - are all saying that Starbucks’s best days are behind it, and that Schultz is never going to be able to bring it back Picture Quote #1

I say this about everything: when I was on ‘Neighbours,’ I said, ‘These are the best years of my life!’ When I was filming ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street,’ I said, ‘These are the best months of my life!’ I always think I’m having the best time ever, and that I’ll never have so much fun again Picture Quote #1

I still have a photo on my wall of the greatest idol I will ever have in my life, and it’s myself at eight. Because that’s when the forces of imagination have the same value as the real world, when they’re an instrument of survival: when my mother disappeared, and I imagined a mother. That was me at my best Picture Quote #1

Mountain, mountain, mountain, marking time. Each nameless, wall beyond wall, wavering redefinition of horizon Picture Quote #1

I served in all commissioned ranks from a second Lieutenant to a Major General. And during that time, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism Picture Quote #1

Big Oil, Wall Street and big business as a whole - they stand in the way of the kinds of change needed. They are fiercely against the radical reforms Bernie Sanders is popularizing Picture Quote #1

The people see that Wall Street is running our economic policy, that big oil is running our energy policy and the military industrial complex is determining our foreign policy Picture Quote #1

The Tea Party grew out of indignation over the Wall Street bailout - an indignation shared by the vast majority of Americans. But the Tea Party ended up directing its ire at government rather than at big business and Wall Street Picture Quote #1

Billions of years before twelve step groups, God committed shotgun suicide. Today wall scrapings share His gratitude stories Picture Quote #1

Life sometimes gets so bogged down in the details, you forget you are living it. There is always another appointment to be met, another bill to pay, another symptom presenting, another uneventful day to be notched onto the wooden wall. We have synchronized our watches, studied our calendars, existed in minutes, and completely forgotten to step back and see what we’ve accomplished Picture Quote #1

I’ve got more than 600 pairs of Ray-Ban sunglasses, from 1950s originals to newer models. I have them on the wall like opticians do so I can pick out a pair that goes with my outfit. I had around 30 pairs, then my husband Rainer started getting them for me as birthday and Christmas gifts Picture Quote #1

At first, my bedroom had flowers and yellow walls and huge furniture in plastic that was orange and green - and furry green bed cover and everything. Then, I think the day I turned 13, I painted the walls black and put Kurt Cobain on the wall and just changed everything into a dark theme Picture Quote #1

You’ve got the Wall Street situation, the sub-prime situation. You’ve got a black president. We’ve got wars. We’ve got unemployment. But the music doesn’t reflect that. And I challenge anybody to show me a music that’s on the radio that reflects that Picture Quote #1

Actually, who hasn’t been through the ghastly experience of sitting in front of a blank page, with its toothless mouth grinning at you: Go ahead, let’s see you lay a finger on me? A blank page is actually a whitewashed wall with no door and no window. Beginning to tell a story is like making a pass at a total stranger in a restaurant Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there is anything wrong with white space. I don’t think it’s a problem to have a blank wall Picture Quote #1
