“I say multicultural society doesn't work. We're not living closer, we're living apart.”
Pim Fortuyn
(1948–2002) Dutch politician
"Holland's high-camp hero of new politics" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/netherlands/1393177/Hollands-high-camp-hero-of-new-politics.html, The Telegraph (4 May 2002).
Context: If you try to discuss multiculturalism in the UK you're labelled a racist. But here we're still free to talk, and I say multicultural society doesn't work. We're not living closer, we're living apart.
“We gotta get out while we're young,
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.”
"Born to Run"
Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)
Context: In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream.
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines.
Sprung from cages on Highway 9,
Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
And steppin' out over the line.
Baby this town rips the bones from your back.
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap.
We gotta get out while we're young,
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.
Christopher McDougall
(1962) American journalist and writer
