"We should not be less than what we are."

-- Terry Brooks

“All passion becomes strength when it has an outlet.”
“I believe in status symbols.”
“When a man dies, he does not just die of the disease he has: he dies of his whole life.”
“You actually cannot sell the idea of freedom, democracy, diversity, as if it were a brand attribute and not reality -- not at the same time as you're bombing people, you can't.”
“[T]he more radical the person is, the more fully he or she enters into reality so that, knowing it better, he or she can transform it. This individual is not afraid to confront, to listen, to see the world unveiled. This person is not afraid to meet the people or to enter into a dialogue with them. This person does not consider himself or herself the proprietor of history or of all people, or the liberator of the oppressed; but he or she does commit himself or herself, within history, to fight at their side.”
“The US government should not be in the business of discrimination.”
“I simply do not think that yelling, swearing, threatening or belittling will get you to the place you want to be faster than kindness, understanding, patience and a little willingness to compromise.”
“It takes only one man to make an artist, but forty to make an Academician.”
