The Sandinista government became consumed with fighting a war of survival. They were up against the biggest superpower in the world.

In Nicaragua, liberty, equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words.

The U.S. embargo imposed on Nicaragua, rather than weakening the Sandinistas, actually maintained them in power.

I often traveled to Nicaragua to speak against repressive policies by the Sandinista government.

I am still profoundly troubled by the war in Nicaragua. The United States launched a covert war against another nation in violation of international law, a war that was wrong and immoral.

I think the difference between El Salvador and Nicaragua is that in Nicaragua you had a popular insurrection, and in El Salvador you had a revolution.

Look at what President Kennedy managed to achieve during the Cuban missile crisis. If Bush had been president in 1962, do you think he would have avoided a nuclear war?

Photography speaks a universal language that does not need translation, and with an immediacy that the written word lacks. It freezes a moment in time, leaving an indelible image.

I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it.

I don't want to wear what every other women wears. I won't be dictated to.

I don't believe in lobbying only progressives and liberal members of Congress. I don't believe in doing interviews only with those who share my views. I want to reach a wider audience.

How devastating to find 'the one' and not be 'their one.

I don?t feel rejected by the sky. I?m a part of it- tiny, to be sure, but everything is tiny compared to that overwhelming immensity.

I am but a small shard in a grand mosaic.

The Methodists love your big sinners, as proper subjects to work upon.

Is there a thinker apart from thought?

Curation is more than packaging-it is to help readers [discern] what is important in the world.

I don't work to any commissions. I do what I want to do.

I am still alive then. That may come in useful.

A private central bank issuing the public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army. We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.

I'm the rebel totally going against the grain. I always want to do the extreme. I want to get as many people looking as possible.
