1. Hungarian Prime Minister Orban:

   All countries have a right to decide whether they want to live with large numbers of Muslims in their countries, if they want to, they can. We don't want to, and we have a right to decide we do not want a large number of Muslim people in our country.

2. Masato Saito:

   It's a normal day. That kind of political stuff is irrelevant to us ordinary people, as long as they make our lives easy to live, that's all I care.

3. John von Neumann:

   I think that it is a relatively good approximation to truth — which is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations — that mathematical ideas originate in empirics. But, once they are conceived, the subject begins to live a peculiar life of its own and is ... governed by almost entirely aesthetical motivations. In other words, at a great distance from its empirical source, or after much "abstract" inbreeding, a mathematical subject is in danger of degeneration. Whenever this stage is reached the only remedy seems to me to be the rejuvenating return to the source: the reinjection of more or less directly empirical ideas.

4. Guillaume Bression:

   (Koriyama) is close, but I did not know how this place was devastated until now. what we really wanted is to focus the discussion on what the inhabitants express right now and have to face in the future. The main problem right now is 80,000 people are still evacuated, they live in crappy houses or apartments that are not convenient for them. Some want to go back. Some don't. We want to talk about the social issues that the crisis has caused, not the crisis itself.

   When I interned at ‘Saturday Night Live,’ do you think I got that internship just because I was like, the best intern? No, my dad is friends with Lorne Michaels. There are a lot of doors that have been opened for me. There's a lot of people that will want to talk to me because my last name is McCain.
