Lionel Sosa

#16. The mind of this country, taught to aim at low objects, feeds upon itself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Evan Osnos

#30. Brazilians need to work on their own national pride. I always think that they suffer from national low-self esteem. It's a lesser-developed country, and they have struggled so much. Sometimes they have an attitude that, if it's Brazilian, it can't be good.

Amy Irving

#31. It's a false choice to say we either have job safety or job growth. It's a false choice to suggest that the only way for a business to survive is to make sure workers have low wages and little or no benefits. There are ample models across this country where we've demonstrated the contrary.
