• Science has done absolutely nothing about noise. The worst design flaw in the human body is that you can't close your ears. The reason you can't close your ears is, if a lion was coming, you had to wake up. Today no lions are coming. Beeping trucks are coming. I read the other day that the guy who invented the beep when trucks go backward, he died. I thought: Of course - he dies, I have to listen to it.

• We wake up to find the whole world building competitive trade barriers, just as we found it a few years ago building competitive armaments.

As between the two, trade barriers are more destructive than armaments and more threatening to the peace of the world.
