This is the alliance between our Communist leaders and your capitalists. This alliance is not new. ... We observe continuous and steady support by the businessmen of the West of the Soviet Communist leaders. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn communist-leaderssupportthinking To his and everybody else's way of thinking, you should build a house with your own hands before you start talking about being an engineer. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn engineeringhandsthinking I think the gap between the rich and the poor is a dangerous phenomenon in Russia and it needs the attention of the state. The only reasonable way to correct the situation today is not to go after big businesses, but to give breathing room to medium and small businesses.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn givingmeanthinking The term "national idea" is an unclear one. One might think of it as a widely shared understanding among a people as to the desired way of life in their country, an idea that holds sway over the population. A unifying concept like that can be useful, but should never be created artificially or imposed top-down by the powers-that-be. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn top-downcountrythinking I've made a poster at home. You know the iconic image of Che Guevara, the black and red graphic of his face? I think it's the perfect graphic, the best graphic ever made. I cut a Concorde out and put it over his head so it's Che looking up and the Concorde going by. Both are dead, maybe obsolete.

Aleksandra Mir spacemoonthinking I think the wildest wildlife you can find these days is in Chernobyl, where wolves are running around breeding quite well in the nuclear disaster zones. Aleksandra Mir nuclearrunningthinking Of course I can have a simple reaction of sympathy and sorrow to destruction. But you also know that you can't have new things if you don't occasionally destroy the old. That's something you're really not allowed to say because things are often destroyed according to particular power relations so it means taking a stand in those cases, which I am not really interested in doing either. I think I am simply interested in looking. Aleksandra Mir simplemeanthinking The Stonehenge proposal got a lot of interesting criticism. One of the best - or worst - said something like, "Go home to Las Vegas." I think this project could possibly be realized at a very late part of my career. Right now, I don't have the authority, the budget, the credibility. Aleksandra Mir careershomethinking It was the lowest point of my life. I just kept thinking, 'What have I done to deserve this?' I didn't see the point in living. Alesha Dixon lowest-pointdonethinking I think people in England take things for granted, we complain about our NHS system and yes it's not perfect but believe me it's far better than what they've got here.

Alessandra Ambrosio partystarsthinking I think every woman in the world has to have a short black dress. That's what I always wear if I'm really rushing and I don't want to think.
