Douglas Tompkins Zitate

When we began working on Parque Pumalin, rumours flew that we were establishing a nuclear waste site for the United States or, oddly for Episcopalians, which we both are, setting up a Jewish state. It would be funny if these theories weren't being taken very seriously.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Als wir anfingen, an Parque Pumalin zu arbeiten, gerieten die Gerüchte, dass wir eine Atommüllanlage für die Vereinigten Staaten errichteten oder - seltsamerweise für Episcopalians -, die wir beide sind, einen jüdischen Staat. Es wäre lustig, wenn diese Theorien nicht sehr ernst genommen würden.

If the great Government of the United States were a private corporation no bank would take its name on a piece of paper, because it has cynically repudiated the words engraved upon its bonds.

It was post war. It was very gray, very dreary. Everything was still rationed when I first saw the United States in 1951. I went over to visit my sister who was a war bride.

We live in such a sheltered environment in the United States. I've been fortunate enough to have traveled all over the world, and I've seen things you only read about and see on the news.
