People who work hard often work too hard. ... May we learn to honor the hammock, the siesta, the nap and the pause in all its forms.

I'm mad about the waste that happens when people who love each other can't even bring themselves to talk.

What I am really interested in is that I want people to be thinking in other ways - to stop thinking they have to remain glued to a system that has failed and to ideas about society that's necessarily about being run by Democrats or Republicans.

My activism really is for myself, because I see places in the world where I feel I should be. If there is something really bad, really evil, happening somewhere, then that is where I should be. I need, for myself, to feel that I have stood there. It feels a lot better than just watching it on television.

To know is to exist; to exist is to be involved, to move about, to see the world with my own eyes.

This could be our revolution: to love what is plentiful as much as what's scarce.

When life descends into the pit I must become my own candle Willingly burning my self To light up the darkness around me.
