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

And my voice now is a struggle, it's a daily struggle to keep it up. Gravity has begun to fight the vocal cords the way it does with everybody. So I have a vocal therapist, and we record the sessions and I use them on tour every day.

The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of nonviolence has been the organization of violence.

If you swing both ways, you really swing. I just figure you double your pleasure.

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

The point of nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink. A platform which stands a few feet above napalm, torture, exploitation, poison gas, A and H bombs, the works. Give man a decent place to stand.

All of us are survivors, but how many of us transcend survival?
