Every silver lining has a touch of grey.

America is still mostly xenophobic and racist. That's the nature of America, I think.

... Grateful Dead - that's it !! ... nobody in the band liked it, (the name) I didn't like it, either, but it got around that that was one of the candidates for our new name, and everyone else said, 'Yeah, that's great.' It turned out to be tremendously lucky. It's just repellent enough to filter curious onlookers and just quirky enough that parents don't like it.

Stuff that's hidden and murky and ambiguous is scary because you don't know what it does.

Sometimes you have to be clever.

The pursuit of happiness is an overview kind of thing. It's not in the Bill of Rights.

Right now, America is under the gun. It's being tested and is being co-opted in a big way.
