The world became a better place to live in after 11/9 [1989 - fall of Berlin wall] because each outbreak of freedom stimulated another outbreak.

The fall of the Berlin Wall makes for nice pictures. But it all started in the shipyards.

If this trend had continued for three more years, something similar to the fall of the Berlin Wall would have happened to China and the Communist party would have crumbled.

The world has fundamentally changed. It fundamentally changed when the Berlin Wall came down and the 'evil empire' ceased to exist. We are engaged around the world whether we like it or not.

When the Berlin Wall came down the Americans cried, 'Victory,' and walked off the field.

I was in Bangalore, India, the Silicon Valley of India, when I realized that the world was flat.
