  Alberto Bravano : I *have* never done a day's work in my life - honest OR dishonest, but neither have you... To make 100 dollars into 110 dollars, this is work. To make 100 million into 110 million, this is inevitable.

• Alberto Bravano : [to Kirk Edwards]  How many millions have you in tax-exempt bonds, and oil wells whose power of production your government so generously protects, while it denies similar benefits to the human brain?

  Alberto Bravano : I will not answer vaguely, Mr Muldoon. Yes

• Alberto Bravano : When I was 15 years old, I had two choices. Everybody wanted me to be a good little boy and do good for others. I chose to be a bad little boy and do good for myself.
