The way I'm going now is to focus on peace, to create peace. As Sister Corita said, "I don't go to anti-war rallies. I go to peace rallies."

The difference between mad people and sane people... is that sane people have variety when they talk-story. Mad people have only one story that they talk over and over.

Humans are basically good. That's why it takes so much training to march march march kill kill kill kill.

Long ago in China, knot-makers tied string into buttons and frogs, and rope into bell pulls. There was one knot so complicated that it blinded the knot-maker. Finally an emperor outlawed this cruel knot, and the nobles could not order it anymore. If I had lived in China, I would have been an outlaw knot-maker.

I'd like to go to New Society Village someday and find out exactly how far I can walk before people stop talking like me.

I do not believe in old age. I do not believe in getting tired.

How unlike a dead fish a live fish is.
