• Para mí es irrelevante lo que piensen de mí los jóvenes singapurenses. Lo que piensen de mí después de mi muerte, dentro de una generación, lo determinarán los investigadores que hagan doctorados sobre mí, ¿no? Así que habrá mucho revisionismo. Como la gente revisó a Stalin, a Brezhnev y un día ahora a Yeltsin, y más tarde a Putin. He vivido lo suficiente para saber que uno puede ser idealizado en vida y vilipendiado después de muerto.

• In retrospect, I can see that President Brezhnev was quite proud of the limited agreement that he had concluded in Vladivostok; and to have a new American president come in and say, "That is not good enough - let's do much more, and do it quite rapidly," took him by surprise.

• The man who occupies the first place in an undemocratic state can give himself any award that takes his fancy, but it does not increase his authority - rather, the contrary.

Hace setenta años se opuso a la movilización contra Adolf Hitler y adoró al otro genocida, Josef Stalin. Ha desfilado por Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Jruschov, Brézhnev y Andrópov. Ha babeado por Ceausescu y Mugabe. Se ha manifestado contra todo y contra todos los estadounidenses durante un siglo.
