Frank Bainimarama :
"
"The military has heard that if people support Chaudhry, that is a vote for instability. We will wait for those that threaten instability, the military will support any government that is elected. No one should think that a vote for Chaudhry would cause instability. These are the words of liars and opportunists that want to mislead the people because they want power. These are the same opportunists that told the lies than to get into Parliament and are doing the same again, the very same traitors that went to Viseisei to ask the people to agree with a plan to ask the President to step down."

Ursula K Le Guin :
"
Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing -- instead of around, and down? What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.

James Thurber :
"
Next to reasoning, the greatest handicap to the optimum development of Man lies in the fact that this planet is just barely habitable. Its minimum temperatures are too low, and its maximum temperatures too high. Its day is not long enough, and its night is too long. The disposition of its water and earth is distinctly unfortunate (the existence of the Mediterranean Sea in the place where we find it is perhaps the unhappiest accident in the whole firmament). These factors encourage depression, fear, war, and lack of vitality. They describe a planet, which is by no means perfectly devised for the nurturing or for the perpetuation of a higher intelligence.
