Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

Students who acquire large debts putting themselves through school are unlikely to think about changing society. When you trap people in a system of debt, they can't afford the time to think.

The general population doesn't know what's happening, and it doesn't even know that it doesn't know.

That's the standard technique of privatization: defund, make sure things don't work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital.

Jingoism, racism, fear, religious fundamentalism: these are the ways of appealing to people if you're trying to organize a mass base of support for policies that are really intended to crush them.

There's a good reason why nobody studies history, it just teaches you too much.

The world is a very puzzling place. If you're not willing to be puzzled, you just become a replica of someone else's mind.

Democratic societies can't force people. Therefore they have to control what they think.

Nobody should have any illusions. The United States has essentially a one-party system and the ruling party is the business party.

How lucky we are! We are singing our songs, dancing our dances, and living our lives.

You are the missing piece of my heart and soul. United we are now whole.

Once one follows the ideals of any specific ideology, they lose some ability to see the world outside of those pre-filtered glasses.

Environment' is a term that creates no pictures in the mind, which is why I have begun to use 'natural world' or 'living planet' instead.

My filing system's really crap because I can never decide whether to sort things by studio, or year, or where I lived.

One of our greatest challenges as Christians is to be driven by the love of Christ rather than constantly seeking after God's comfort.

Our task, your task... is to try to connect the dots before something happens. People say, 'Well, where's the smoking gun?' Well, we don't want to see a smoking gun from a weapon of mass destruction.

Train yourself: It is not by accident an artist becomes a good painter.

The desert is an ocean in which no oar is dipped.

I live the way I want to live, and I don't comment on the way that other people live.
