Some men see what is, and ask 'Why?' I see what might be, and ask 'Why Not?'

Industrial agriculture now accounts for over half of America's water pollution.

The gross national product includes air pollution and advertising for cigarettes, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors, and jails for the people who break them ... It does not allow for the health of our families, the quality of thier education, or the joy of their play.

The enlargement of liberty for individual human beings must be the supreme goal and abiding practice of any western society.

All of us will ultimately be judged on the effort we have contributed to building a new world order.

Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.

This much is clear: violence breeds violence, repression brings retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our soul.
