“That's a really sad moment. When people in a democracy are afraid of having the conversation, because it might actually lead to a conclusion they don't like, as opposed to saying, let's have the conversation, and let's learn, and, you know, let's, let me try to persuade you, and if I'm not persuading you, then you try to persuade me. That's what we hope for.”

We are not religion or God, because we enter into belief in the hope we get something back for ourselves. We are not a soul. We are hope.”
“Sometimes I wish I could go back in time, sit down with myself and explain that things were going to be okay, that everybody loses ground sometimes and it doesnâ€™t mean anything. Itâ€™s the way life works. This is hard to understand in the moment. You get to thinking about the girl who rejected you, the job you got fired from, the test you failed, and you lose sight of the big picture â€” the fact that life has a beautiful way of remaking itself every few weeks.”
“Students learn best not by reading the Great Books in a closed room but by opening the doors and windows of experience.”
