Latecomers Quotes

• I'm a latecomer to the environmental issue, which for years seemed to me like an excuse for more government regulation. But I can see that in rich societies, voters are paying less attention to economic issues and more to issues of the spirit, including the environment.

• I am human. Like all humans, I do not remember my birth. By the time we wake up to ourselves, we are little children, and our advent is something that happened an eternity ago, at the beginning of time. We live like latecomers to the theater; we must catch up as best we can, divining the begging from the shape of later events. - Vida Winter

• En la reunión sostuve que el Estado no nos había dado ninguna alternativa a la violencia. Dije que era incorrecto e inmoral someter a nuestro pueblo a ataques armados por parte del Estado sin ofrecerles algún tipo de alternativa. Volví a mencionar que la gente se había levantado en armas por su cuenta. La violencia comenzaría tanto si nosotros la iniciábamos como si no. ¿No sería mejor guiar esta violencia nosotros mismos, según principios en los que salvamos vidas atacando símbolos de opresión, y no personas? Si no tomábamos ahora la iniciativa, dije, pronto seríamos los rezagados y los seguidores de un movimiento que no controlábamos.

• What Asia's postwar economic miracle demonstrates is that
  capitalism is a path toward economic development that is potentially
  available to all countries. No underdeveloped country in the
  Third World is disadvantaged simply because it began the growth
  process later than Europe, nor are the established industrial powers
  capable of blocking the development of a latecomer, provided
  that country plays by the rules of economic liberalism.
