I think school is a place where thinking should be taught.

What is urgent will always take precedence over what is important.

Everyone has the right to doubt everything as often as he pleases and the duty to do it at least once. No way of looking at things is too sacred to be reconsidered. No way of doing things is beyond improvement.

Everywhere I go, I see very much the same thing. I see the same compassion for people who live half a world away. I see the same concern about events beyond these borders. And, increasingly, I see the same conviction that we can and we must join together to stop the scourge of AIDS and poverty.

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.

The purpose of art is to reflect new emerging values and to define the new heroes and heroines so that people can absorb them into their perceptions.

To me, a faith in Jesus Christ that is not aligned with the poor ... it's nothing.
