“A person's true wealth is the good he or she does in the world.”
“In the eternal youth of Nature, you may renew your own.”
“...I was tired of men. Hanging in doorways, standing too close, their smell of beer or fifteen-year-old whiskey. Men who didn't come to the emergency room with you, men who left on Christmas Eve. Men who slammed the security gates, who made you love them and then changed their minds.”
“I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of nuclear annihilation...

I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed.”
