Words, like angels, are powers which have invisible power over us.

What I try to point out is the role an ordinary person can have in seeing the child's destiny. You have to have a feeling for the child.

We're an air bag society that wants guarantees on everything that we buy. We want to be able to take everything back and get another one. We want a 401-k plan and Social Security.

I think we're miserable partly because we have only one god, and that's economics.

We have to give value to authority. We have to give value to office, being in office, holding office.

We approach people the same way we approach our cars. We take the poor kid to a doctor and ask, "What's wrong with him, how much will it cost, and when can I pick him up?"

Any symptom can force you to go deeper into some area.
