"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery-isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.

It's the only good fight there is."

Andre Vltchek was an uncompromising critic of the Western, imperialist and capitalist world order and a constant inspiration to me for years. And he will remain so. That your words, Andre, will live long in our hearts!
