‘People who come illegally are breaking the law. People who come in very large numbers, illegally or not, are changing the country.

‘Let it be a purple cow!’ — The Hungarian Who Came Up With the Milka Trademark
‘The idea first became a plan, then a highly acclaimed, successful advertising campaign…for which they needed to find a cow…The photographer accepted the assignment and travelled all over the Alps until he found the ideal model in the Simmental Valley.

At the Very Last Moment — A Conversation with Róbert Winer
‘Building a community under these circumstances is difficult, Winer admitted…He stressed that explaining the importance of community to young people is crucial.
