I think that walking down the middle of the street with several thousand people who share your deepest beliefs is one of the best ways to take a walk.

We are moving into a world of unaccountable and secretive corporations that manage all our communications and work hand in hand with governments to make us visible to them. Our privacy is being strip-mined and hoarded.

Some things we have only as long as they remain lost, some things are not lost only so long as they are distant.

We fly; we dream in darkness; we devour heaven in bites too small to be measured.

The poor have often been subversive just because they don't always believe their own depiction as brutes and loafers and leeches, and new economy is making lots more poor or recognize their fellowship with the insecurity of the poor, the portion of the population for whom the system does not work.

To hope is to give yourself to the future - and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.

There is no one as dangerous as he or she who has nothing to lose.
