I don't want to flee, nor do I want to abandon the battle of these farmers who live without any protection in the forest. They have the sacrosanct right to aspire to a better life on land where they can live and work with dignity while respecting the environment.

The death of the forest is the end of our life.

"There are things you do because they feel right and they make no sense and they make no money and it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other
(and to eat each other’s cooking) and to say it was good!"

I have never, on the field of battle, sent you where I was unwilling to go myself; nor would I advise to go a course which I myself was unwilling to pursue. You have been good soldiers; you can be good citizens. Obey the laws, preserve your honor, and the Government to which you have surrendered can afford to be, and will be, magnanimous.

It may be that the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong -- but that is the way to bet.
