"I do think that women could make politics irrelevant; by a kind of spontaneous cooperative action the like of which we have never seen; which is so far from peopleâ€™s ideas of state structure or viable social structure that it seems to them like total anarchy â€” when what it really is, is very subtle forms of interrelation that do not follow some heirarchal pattern which is fundamentally patriarchal. The opposite to patriarchy is not matriarchy but fraternity, yet I think itâ€™s women who are going to have to break this spiral of power and find the trick of cooperation."

You can't unleash it in the name of sparking an economic boom and then be shocked when Halliburton overcharges for everything from towels to gas, when Parsons' sub, sub, sub-contractor builds a police academy where the pipes drip raw sewage on the heads of army cadets and where Blackwater investigates itself and finds it acted honorably. That's just corporations doing what they do and Iraq is a privatized war zone so that's what you get. Build a frontier, you get cowboys and robber barons.”
“If you are not a New Yorker, when you arrive there for the first time you have the impression you grew up there because you've seen it in so many films.

“All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.”
“Jesus came to give us life. We don't have to hang on a cross like he did. For him, it was a sacrifice. For us, it is a gift.”
“I blame myself for not often enough seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary. Somewhere in his journals, Dostoyevky remarks that a writer can begin anywhere, at the most commonplace thing, scratch around in it long enough, pry and dig away long enough, and lo!, soon he will hit upon the marvelous.”
“Certainly the format of ghostbusting lends itself to a videogame beautifully.”
