"The epitome of our life force turns on the seam where our tempered idealistic expectations meet the annealed exigencies fueling the cataclysm of a pressing personal crisis. Many of us do not decipher who we are and what we truly cherish until we experience the terror of an inconsolable loss. Failure and suffering lead to self-scrutiny."

Politics
"Everything has to be done to build some sort of international democracy. We've seen only the tiniest beginnings of that."
Beginning
"The question is not only what is grown but what it's used for. There's not going to be a mass transformation of dietary habits in rich countries-on the contrary, the first thing people do when they become more prosperous is to buy more meat."
People

Work
"The World Development Movement, to take just one example, is doing good work. Some political parties are, too."
Work
"I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later."
