And yet, in our particular society, it is the narrowed and narrowing view of life that often wins."

"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it."

"This is a wonderful planet, and it is being completely destroyed by people who have too much money and power and no empathy."

"The infinite faith I have in people's ability to understand anything that makes sense has always been justified, finally, by their behavior."
