The past is more than a memory.

As human beings, we're given intelligence. This is how we make our way through this reality, how we manifest our reality clearly and coherently.

Don't trust anyone who isn't angry.

We must go beyond the arrogance of human rights. We must go beyond the ignorance of civil rights. We must step into the reality of natural rights because all of the natural world has a right to existence and we are only a small part of it. There can be no trade-off.

I'm just a human being trying to make it in a world that is very rapidly losing it's understanding of being human.

I think it's the responsibility of every human being, not just those who wear the identity of poet, activist, voter, religious person... it's the responsibility of every person. Our responsibility is to use our intelligence as clearly and coherently as we possibly can.

We use our intelligence, our creative intelligence, because we create with intelligence.
