The political is personal.

I guess 35 years ago, I thought we had more of a democracy than we actually do. Majority support doesn't help unless the majority is active and votes - but the opposition minority votes a much greater proportion, so we often lose by a narrow margin.

The ends and means are a seamless web.

I always thought that "humanist" was a good word long before I understood that anyone thought it was a bad word.

We'll only really know we've succeeded when a mediocre woman does as well as a mediocre man. You shouldn't have to be extraordinary. That's the point!

I think that we need to change the culture, not blame the people that are playing the only game that exists.

Inner space is the real frontier.
