André Malraux
“There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.”
André Malraux

John Fitzgerald Kennedy
“The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger--but recognize the opportunity.”
John F. Kennedy
