Kari Byron quotes
- Remarking on the topless Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia: "This must be
where the beautiful people go."
- A visit with a Balinese girl and her family "left me with an uneasiness
I couldn't cure. I felt guilty and sad - Komang's family lived in a
two-room shack with no doors - because I have a full stomach in every
sense. Lesson learned. Life appreciated in a new way."
- I have grown quite fond of firearms. I have always been an anti-gun
liberal, but the rush you get from an M134D Gatling gun with 30 caliber
bullets firing at 3,000 rounds per minute is unbelievable. (Source:
