“Any nation that expects to be ignorant and free," Jefferson said, "expects what never was and never will be." And if the gap between the educated and the uneducated in America continues to grow as it is in our time, as fast as or faster than the gap between the rich and the poor, the gap between the educated and the uneducated is going to be of greater consequence and the more serious threat to our way of life.

The grace with which we embrace life, in spite of the pain, the sorrow, is always a measure of what has gone before.”

“No system in history capitalism has been more relentless in battering down ancient and fragile cultures, devouring the resources of whole regions, pulverizing centuries-old practices in a matter of years, and standardizing the varieties of human experience.”
“Finally it has penetrated my thick skull. This life-this moment-is no dress rehearsal. This is it.”
“My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.”
