I spend my days preparing for life, not preparing for death.

Politics is the art of making the people believe that they are in power, when in fact, they have none.

The role of television is the illusion of company, noise. I call it the fifth wall and the second window: the window of illusion.

Before this generation goes on to its ancestors, we should, we must, do our level best to pass on our lessons, so that they live in our people's minds and lives.

Do you see law and order? There is nothing but disorder, and instead of law there is the illusion of security. It is an illusion because it is built on a long history of injustices: racism, criminality, and the genocide of millions. Many people say it is insane to resist the system, but actually, it is insane not to.

The state would rather give me an uzi than a microphone.

I have learned not to do predictions. It's not helpful, psychologically. I don't sit and fret about things.
