Going door to door and talking to people, convincing them to vote - this is what I call Organizing 101.

Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.

We must use our lives to make the world a better place to live, not just to acquire things. That is what we are put on the earth for.

We as women should shine light on our accomplishments and not feel egotistical when we do. It's a way to let the world know that we as women can accomplish great things!

We can't let people drive wedges between us... because there's only one human race.

Every minute a chance to change the world.

That's the history of the world. His story is told, hers isn't.

Honor the hands that harvest your crops.

When you choose to give up your time and resources to participate in community work, that's what makes a leader.

I quit because I can’t stand seeing kids come to class hungry and needing shoes. I thought I could do more by organizing farm workers than by trying to teach their hungry children.

There's something terribly weird about the standard fantasy setting--not least of which the fact the phrase "standard fantasy setting" can be uttered without irony.

Because some things that seem unimportant now can change the course of human history -- and I am a student of human history.

I said I'm going to hit the next one right over the flagpole. God must have been with me.

Many men of course became extremely rich, but this was perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed of because no one was really poor, at least no one worth speaking of.

The entire human race faced a singularity when one small group discovered, ooh, technology. We can live a different way. Eventually, that spelled the death of the old way of life.

Education would be a divine thing, if it did nothing more than help us to think and love great thoughts instead of little thoughts.

There isn't as much passion and outrage in today's newspapers. That may be because of a corporate decision, but they've lost their personality.

The unread is always better than the unreadable.

Excuses cost a dime and that's why the poor could afford a lot of it.

One thing I learned is that the mind, rather than being the master, should be the servant of the heart.
