Ashley Capps Quotes

Do you know that there are still clubs in England and America where Jews aren`t allowed? This is a country of denial.

Born to lose, live to win.

I don`t understand people who believe that if you ignore something, it`ll go away. That`s completely wrong - if it`s ignored it gathers strength. Europe ignored Hitler for twenty years. As a result he slaughtered a quarter of the world!

Inherited hatred (i.e. hatred your parents schooled you in) is not only stupid, it is destructive - why make your only driving force hate? Seems really fucking dumb to me.

The only time I`ve seen any rebellion was in the fifties, sixties and early seventies. The rest of it you can keep.

My earliest memory is shouting: at what and for what reason, I don`t know. Probably a tantrum; or I may have been rehearsing. I was always an early starter.

That was a great time, the summer of `71 - I can`t remember it, but I`ll never forget it!

I suppose I should have my say about the terrorist attacks (9/11). I don`t suppose it`ll be a popular point of view, but they need to be put into some sort of perspective. They were a horrible tragedy, but also what happened in New York and Washington is the same thing that England and America did to Berlin every day for three years during WW2 - and Germany did the same thing to England. But most Americans don`t think about that. They think everything starts and finishes with America.

One thing I am very glad of is that I went through the sixties. People who didn`t really don`t know what they missed. We pushed a certain consciousness, a way of life and it was exciting - no AIDS, people weren`t dying so much from drug abuse and it was truly a time of freedom and change.

Apparently people don`t like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, `Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong.` I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you.
