Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers.

In the biotech revolution, it is the human body, not iron or steel or plastic, that's at the source. Are the biocapitalists going to be allowed to dig without consent into our genetic codes, then market them?

The truth is that we can overhaul our surroundings, renovate our environment, talk a new game, join a new club, far more easily than we can change the way we respond emotionally. It is easier to change behavior than feelings about that behavior.

Let's just say that global warming deniers are now on a par with Holocaust deniers.

I regard this novel as a work without redeeming social value, unless it can be recycled as a cardboard box.

We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.

Women have gained access to the institutions, but not enough power to overhaul them.
