It is more rewarding to watch money change the world than watch it accumulate.

Every revolution begins as consciousness because some group of people has to imagine change. You have to have the idea of change or at least have a hope before you can proceed. And that stage goes very quickly because a contagion of consciousness is within your control. But when you get to the stage of institutional change, it becomes a much slower process.

The act of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.

We choose to be writers because we don't want to talk.

If technology and medicine are used by women to have children or not to have children or to have healthier children - that's one thing. But if it's used to say, 'You're not a real woman unless you have a child, therefore take all these dangerous hormones and have one at 54," then it's another story.

It doesn't matter where we begin the personal/political circle, but it matters desperately that we complete it.

I always trust the microcosm over the macrocosm.
