Hiroshima does not look like a bombed city. It looks as if a monster steamroller had passed over it and squashed it out of existence.

France turned a deaf ear to the demands, but Ho had succeeded in attracting great publicity in progressive French circles to the situation in Indochina.

Vietnamese must be made to feel that they are racial inferiors with no right to national identity.

When you arrive in Hiroshima you can look around and for 25 and perhaps 30 square miles you can see hardly a building. It gives you an empty feeling in the stomach to see such man-made devastation.

The police chief of Hiroshima welcomed me eagerly as the first Allied correspondent to reach the city.

As in all his subsequent dealings with France, Ho Chi Minh's demands were a model of modesty.

Ho joined the French socialist party, the first Vietnamese to be a member of a French political party.

Hiroshima had a profound effect upon me.

My emotional and intellectual response to Hiroshima was that the question of the social responsibility of a journalist was posed with greater urgency than ever.

My anger with the US was not at first, that they had used that weapon - although that anger came later.

I'm an artist. So if acting doesn't work out, which I hope it does, I'm probably going to go into graphic design or something like that.

The big lie out there, the big lie that the Republicans propagate day after day, is that cutting marginal rates for those at the top is going to create jobs. It's simply not true.

Choosing love will bring you great joy and great happiness - that happiness is a choice you make.

I have the handicap of being born with a special language to which I alone have the key.

I don't buy jewelry just for the aesthetic side.

It also has potential to cause problems to individuals who had nothing to do with the terrorism issue.

Democracy feeds on argument, on the discussion as to the right way forward. This is the reason why respecting the opinion of others belongs to democracy.

I run in a pair of New Balances with a thinner sole, but they're nothing like those barefoot shoes that show all five toes. I have a bit of a phobia about those.

My childhood was extremely lonely. I was dyslexic and lots of kids make fun of me. That experience made me tough inside, because you learn to quietly accept ridicule.
