A million eyes, a million boots in line,
Without expression, waiting for a sign.

Tell us you lost 6 million. Historians, scholars, scientists, they went to some of the death camps. It wasn't 6 million, it wasn't 5 million, it wasn't 4 million, it wasn't even 3 million. Some of them say we'd be hard-pressed to get 1 1/2 million. Reports on the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis were bloated, exaggerated, probably fabricated.

The million, million, million ... to one chance happens once in a million, million, million ... times no matter how surprised we may be that it results in us.

I think that Elin Jones made the point that that ?450 million could have gone on health or anything else, but obviously the issue is that if you had another ?450 million from somewhere else, you have got another ?450 million, but what does that tell you? That is like saying, if my aunty was a bloke, she would be my uncle.

What is the basis of our population at the moment — one million Roma, 700 000 Turks, 2,5 million retirees. This is what GERB is facing. And what about you — a million-and-a-half who ran away?... The human material that we are left with as voters and as a pool for recruiting staff — it is really not that big. It is easy to say: 'we rely on you'.

A million million worlds that move in peace;
A million mighty laws that never cease;
And one small ant-heap, hidden by small weeds,
Rich with eggs, slaves and store of millet-seeds.
They sleep beneath the sod
And trust in God.

 

Charlotte Perkins Gilman
