• Under normal circumstances, if the centerpiece of a president's campaign is helping the disadvantaged and we are our brother's keeper, the idea that this same guy has an actual brother living in third-world poverty without any help from Obama, this would have been on the cover of 'The New York Times.' But none of them are touching it.

• For many of us we are always wanting more - we would be happier if we had such and such. Maybe we should pause for a moment and hear what some people in the third world countries would like to make them happier. 1. Having enough to eat so when you go to sleep at night your stomach doesn't ach. 2. Having shoes on your feet and any kind of clothing to keep the cold out. 3. Having a roof over your head. 4. Having the hope that you'll be lucky enough to get some kind of an education. 5. Believing that the dream of freedom, brotherhood, and peace for all mankind will someday come true.

• Alternatively, suppose Qaddafi winds up hanging from a lamppost in his favorite party dress. If you're a Third World dictator, what lessons would you draw? Qaddafi was the thug who came in from the cold, the one who (in the wake of Saddam's fall) renounced his nuclear program and was supposedly rehabilitated in the chancelleries of the West. He was a strong partner in the war on terrorism, according to U.S. diplomats. And what did Washington do? They overthrew him anyway.

• Desde que el Imperio del Mal resultó ser una colección de países del tercer mundo, los estadounidenses alineados en la extrema derecha han intentado presentar a los gays y lesbianas como el nuevo enemigo, desviados calculadores que seducen a los jóvenes de la nación, señoras anti-Avon que venden sodomía puerta a puerta. Esto simplemente no funcionará. Del mismo modo que ver a los rusos de cerca y en persona en la televisión los humaniza, ver a la abuela lesbiana de dos niñas pequeñas luciendo su medalla de oro con orgullo hace que la noción de alteridad, y mucho menos de desviación, sea tonta e ignorante.

• We have become a plague upon ourselves and upon the Earth. It is cosmically unlikely that the developed world will choose to end its orgy of fossil energy consumption, and the Third World its suicidal consumption of landscape. Until such time as Homo Sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along.

• Unless legal and illegal immigration is halted and reversed, European First World nations across all of Europe from Spain to Russia, North America, Australia and New Zealand - will be destroyed and have their very culture and civilisation changed to that of the Third World. Immigration is now the single most important issue facing all First World nations, and will determine whether Western Civilisation continues to exist or not.

• Being a woman writer, I would be deceiving myself if I said I write completely through the eye of a man. There's nothing bad in it, but that does not make me a feminist writer. I hate that name. The tag is from the Western world - like we are called the Third World.

• Héctor Tobar's accomplished first novel affords a perspective that is overdue and urgently needed in North American literature- -an insider's vision of L.A. as a Third World city. The Tattooed Soldier is a riveting book that manages to be at once politically informed and at the same time a psychologically astute study of that most elemental of stories: revenge.

• Privatisation is presented as being the only alternative to an inefficient, corrupt state. In fact, it is not a choice at all... it is a mutually profitable business contract between the private company (preferably foreign) and the ruling elite of the Third World

• The rich world likes and wishes to believe that someone, somewhere, is doing something for the Third World. For this reason, it does not inquire too closely into the motives or practices of anyone who fulfills, however vicariously, this mandate.

• Cuando un león cautivo sale de su jaula, entra en un mundo más amplio que el del león que sólo ha conocido la naturaleza. Mientras estaba en cautividad, sólo había dos mundos para él: el mundo de la jaula y el mundo fuera de la jaula. Ahora es libre. Ruge. Ataca a la gente. Se las come. Pero no está satisfecho, porque no hay un tercer mundo que no sea ni el mundo de la jaula ni el mundo fuera de la jaula.

• Supongo que Satán fue el primer superhéroe [...] En su primera aventura, adoptó la forma de una serpiente para liberar a dos prisioneros a los que un megalómano todopoderoso mantenía desnudos en una cárcel de la selva del Tercer Mundo. Al mismo tiempo, les amplió la dieta y les introdujo en su propia sexualidad.

• I will tell you one thing that will make you rich for life. There are two struggles: an Inner-world struggle and an Outer-world struggle...you must make an intentional contact between these two worlds; then you can crystallize data for the Third World, the World of the Soul.

• Una vez que experimentas la pobreza en el Tercer Mundo, cambias para siempre, si es que estás abierto a ella, porque todos estamos unidos en nuestra humanidad común. Y estamos hechos para sentir algo por la gente que sufre. No es posible ser humano y no sentirse afectado por lo que ves en el Tercer Mundo.

• With all that IMF money, the Thailand's and Mexico's are spared the consequences of their fiscal incompetence, and Wall Street's heavy hitters are spared the consequences of their stupid investments. The global economy is a rigged game, rigged so Third World politicians, rich investors and global corporations win - and U.S. taxpayers lose.
