Michio Kaku
Hungry people cannot be good at learning or producing anything, except perhaps violence.

James Baker

Alvin E. Roth
Is woman a religion? Well, perhaps you will have the chance of judging for yourselves if you go to America. There you will find men treating women with just the same respect formerly accorded only to religious dignitaries or to great nobles.
Lafcadio Hearn
