There are good guys, and there are congressional people who are good guys, and I certainly vote in those elections. You know, my fondest dream would be if Obama, when he got out of office, decided he was going to go back and organize on the streets. He'd be the only person I could imagine who could really create a movement similar to what King did, and God knows we need that now.

Living so fully, I can't imagine what any drug could do for me.

I would say that I'm a nonviolent soldier. In place of weapons of violence, you have to use your mind, your heart, your sense of humor, every faculty available to you...because no one has the right to take the life of another human being.

In this society, we don't like to face the future and the dying process and all of it. Most of us really don't want to think about it, but it's facing me in the mirror every day.

Noise is an imposition on sanity, and we live in very noisy times.

Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don't, it may drench itself out in sorrow.

I have heard more than once, 'Shut up and sing!' and I get it now.
