"You got rid of them. Yes, thatâ€™s just like you. Getting rid of everything unpleasant instead of learning to put up with it.

Neither suffer nor oppose. You just abolish the slings and arrows. Itâ€™s too easy."

-- Aldous Huxley

“The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it.

“We have stagnant wages in America. We have stagnant, even declining net worth in this country. That's part of something that's much larger than any single individual. And that is something that is way above my pay grade, to be able to deal with, but it's something I deal with on a daily basis. All my life, from the time that I was very small, my feeling was always, that there's a moral dimension to life. And it's not the moralistic dimension to life, that we often hear about, that's rather church-y or whatever.”
