#Existentialism Quotes

“We shouldn't fuel the future with the polluting methods of the past, ... We have the technology to power our future in ways that don't threaten our health or poison our planet. Let's choose to use it.”
“We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future.”
“America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.”

“I just don't want to do a movie because it paid me a lot of money.”
“The longer you stay in the job that you do the more you learn about what those around you do. As an actor I've always nosed around apologetically about: "oh wouldn't it be interesting if I could do that?" I can't imagine not wanting to do this everyday.”
“One of the hardest things for me to do is be fully open in a poem. By that I mean, honest and not trying to amplify some mythological version of myself.

And it wasn't fun to write, even though the poems aren't 100% autobiographical.”
“The magic of America is that we're a free and open society with a mixed population. Part of our security is our freedom.”
