"What can be heavier than wealth than freedom?"

-- Sylvia Ashton-Warner

“Even if I was a bad right wing guy, to the extent of whether my arguments are right or wrong, they're right or wrong independently if I'm right or left.”
“If you find that thing you love, it doesn't necessarily matter whether you do it well or not-you just need to do it.”
“Yes, I've just bought a new horse, named Jedi.”
“You can't educate a child who isn't healthy, and you can't keep a child healthy who isn't educated.”
“The cause of making the world a better place for children unites us all - today HIV/AIDS is the biggest threat to this one universal objective. UNICEF needs us all to help them change the world for children”
“We must be like the fountain or spring that is continually emptying itself of all that it has and is continually being refilled from an invisible source. To be continually giving out for the good of our fellows undeterred by fear of poverty and reliant on the unfailing bounty of the Source of all wealth and all good -- this is the secret of right living.”
“In publishing The First Man I said to myself, 'this is going to be awful,' but awful from the point of view of the criticism. I'm not afraid of [Albert] Camus' public. I'm afraid of what will be written in the papers.”
“Celebrity is something I've never been into, and never will be.”
