There's a consensus out that it's OK to kill when your government decides who to kill. If you kill inside the country you get in trouble. If you kill outside the country, right time, right season, latest enemy, you get a medal.

The white music was melodic and pretty, and you had beautiful women's voices like Gogi Grant and even the Andrews Sisters. Then I went directly to rhythm and blues, which had beautiful voices but not much melody in particular and pretty much the same chord pattern. I loved it, I was entrenched in it, but then folk music came in the middle of that for me, and made its own path. And it was part of the rebellion against bubblegum music, or music that is pretty but doesn't say anything.

We need to have faith in the people who are giving this movement direction to be smart enough to stay one step ahead of what's coming up next.

If you don't have music, you have silence. There is power in both.

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.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.

I'm lucky to have met so many people who have been involved in peace and who have been peace prize winners.
