This is the third-world mentality. Let's build the Taj Majal over here and forget about all these other things over here.

Die by your own sword. Live by your principles. ... If you forget what's important to you, you'll be like a cork bobbing on the ocean.

Owning precious metals because you think the world is going to end? Forget it,

A new world is not made simply by trying to forget the old. A new world is made with a new spirit, with new values. Our world may have begun that way, but today it is caricature. Our world is a world of things. What we dread most, in the face of the impending debacle, is that we shall be obliged to give up our gewgaws, our gadgets, all the little comforts that have made us so uncomfortable. We are not peaceful souls; we are smug, timid, queasy and quaky.

I'm not a believer of the 'perfect world' TV tries to feed us.

What I really want to say is that what the world needs is a feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, blacks, Jews, Arabs - we're all brothers!
